It's strange how events that you think are going to be a huge deal in your life never seem as important when the time for them actually comes. For me, these things loom larger in the distance than they do from up close. I thought saying goodbye to people before I left for Israel would be momentous, but for the most part, it's been remarkably similar to saying goodbye to people I'll see again in another day or week. It's been quite unlike how I'd imagined it would feel to say goodbye to somebody I won't see for over a year.
I leave on Sunday, in a bit less than a week, and this does not seem like a huge deal. Maybe it hasn't sunk in yet, maybe I'm too overwhelmed thinking about all the packing I haven't done yet. Or maybe I'm just ready to go.
I found this lovely quote today. "Traveling is like flirting with life. It's like saying, 'I would stay and love you, but I have to go; this is my station.'"
So, stay in touch! Here is where I'll be writing about goings on in my life in the mideast over the next year. You all should write (when I have an address), email (maboyarsky@vassar.edu), or post. My phone number in Israel is 052.312.6278. Go figure out how to dial that from the US, I have no idea.
Peace, love, and for everybody else traveling soon, niseyah tovah (bon voyage)!

To call you in Israel, your friends need to dial 011 972 and then your Israeli number.
Love,
yo Mama
but they dial your Israeli number without the 0 from the 052. You only need the 0 in Israel.
So, it's 011 972 52 312 6278
You forgot to tell them receiving calls are FREE!! Yippee!!
Love,
yo Mama
