Whatever happened to relaxing on vacation?

Well I can’t say that I did not have the time of my life on a 10 day trip to Israel where I was completely disengaged from all technology.

However this trip was jam packed with activities from day till night. Each day wake up calls frightened me in my sleep at 6:30 am and I had to pack and have my things out of the hotel, ready to go explore Israel and sleep at another hotel- to which we would arrive at 1 am that night.

Israel was the most incredible experience of my life. We went all over the country on a bus, visiting dozens of places and not taking a moment to breathe.  

From kayaking, rock climbing, hiking to waterfalls, camel riding, swimming in the dead sea, and much more - I surpassed what I thought I was capable of.

When you have 40 people cheering you on to climb down a mountain, you don’t really have a choice but to get your butt down the thing with a smile on your face (Even if you are terrified of heights).

Although I am sitting here jet lagged and exhausted, I am so thrilled that my trip was full of excitement and constant activities.  

I may be tired, but this sleepiness will go away, yet the memories will stay forever.
