Sorry to keep you all waiting so long for an update. Hashem really makes you work hard to merit entering the Land! I've been tested in a million and one ways so far, but I'm not complaining one bit. I'm insanely grateful to be here, and the beauty of this place, the people. the sheer joy of it just takes my breath away.
I'm still waiting for my lift, so for now I'm on a borrowed laptop that has wonky keys and a dodgy power supply. Please forgive me if I don't update as often as I'd like to. I'm trying to keep notes of everything so I can start my blog as soon as I get my computer up and running. (This thing is miserable to type on, and I just don't have the patience - besides, DD has been using it most of the time so she can Skype with all of her friends.)
School and Ulpan start in a week or so, and we can't wait to get started!
As soon as I get the guest bedroom set up, I'll be expecting some of you to come up for a visit. I have a gorgeous view of the ocean, and it's only two blocks away.

WELCOME!!!! Remember to expect things to be a bit bumpy at the beginning -- and then be pleasantly surprised at whatever ends up going smoothly. We just finished our 5th year here, BH, and I'd be happy to help with any info you need if I can. . .feel free to PM me! (Of course, if you have internet access )

Was wondering how you were doing!
You landed right into the miserable heat waves, didn't you?
Better than a war though....
How do you like your new city?

Best emoji, EVER!!! I wish I knew how to turn that into my user pic.
Don't worry about me, I have an absurd sense of humor, and can laugh off just about anything. You've just got to love a country where your air conditioner repair man invites you to Shabbos lunch. No, he's not just being polite, he draws you a map, tells you what bus to take, where to get off the bus, and tells you he'll drive over and pick you up from the bus stop.
I got an ear infection from swimming at the beach, and DH was out of town. When my realtor called to ask me how I was doing I mentioned it. He insisted in dropping everything, and came right over. He drove me to a clinic, got me in and out in 20 minutes, and drove me to the pharmacy for ear drops. Can you imagine any other realtor doing that?
While I was in the waiting room I noticed another woman speaking English, so I introduced myself. Within 5 minutes I had her name and phone number, and a standing invitation to Shabbos. She's been living here for 32 years, and says she will show me everything I need, no problem.
Never in my life have I dealt with such nice people! I figure for every 1 bus driver that yells at me, there will be 99 others that will stand by my side.

I'm so happy you're here and getting settled!
I asked my mother if she heard from you and she said your daughter's happy... I guess she was hogging the computer so you didn't have much access.
TWO blocks from the beach!?! I thought you said 4!
Do you have phones set up?
How about appliances?
We'd love to have you for shabbos, in between your repairmen, bus drivers and new neighbors
Is your dd ready for school next week? Get tips from the other girls in her class.

Welcome! I would love to come visit!
Just know that usually when an Israeli yells at you, it is because they care!
