Hi Everyone!

Here is my first posting from Richmond - yes we have arrived.

We left you yesterday evening and had a fast check in at Ben Gurion, and had enough time in Duty Free to spend some shekels.

The flight to Atlanta was VERY long - 13 hours - but we survived and sailed through immigration. Absolutely no problems and we even met Orna Banai in the line!

The flight to Richmond from Atlanta was just over an hour and then we were met at Richmond airport by Jordan Pinsky and Ronnie Hecht, who took us to the JCC. There we met up with our new families for the 2 weeks, and I said goodbye to the kids till tomorrow.

Liam will have football practice tonight, and I think Nir will also practice with the basketball team. Our 4 dancers will have a practice tomorrow  believe.

Finally, I have to say that your children were just a pleasure, absolutely no problem at all, always in the right place at the right time. I am looking forward to spending the next two weeks together with them and, of course, reporting to you every day.

All the best

Jacquie
