Re: ANYONE TRAVELED TO ISRAEL?
Haven't been there recently, but I loved it when I did go there. The people were incredibly warm and friendly once you got away from Tel Aviv and Jerusaleum. I was actually invited to dinner by total strangers -- by Hebrews and Arabs in Eilat.
The one thing I'm pretty sure hasn't changed is the driving according to friends who've traveled there since I went. It is hand's down the most frightening experience. I actually rented a car to go from Jerusaleum to Eilat, got about 3 miles out of Jerusaleum and returned the car. Playing chicken seems to be a way of life. Everyone drives straight down the middle of the road and neither one budges.
Hope you have as many good memories of Israel on your trip as I do.
