<\/a>One of the things I\u2019m already looking forward to doing with the professional development funds connected with the endowed chair to which I\u2019ve been appointed is travelling to some places I\u2019ve long meant to visit, in particular places connected with the New Testament. Turkey is already on the radar, but even higher up on the list is Israel. <\/p>\nAt some point I\u2019d love to volunteer for an archaeological dig or do a short-term language course or something of that sort.\u00a0But first I\u2019d like to\u00a0simply visit.<\/p>\n
I\u2019d love to hear from\u00a0blog readers\u00a0who have had the opportunity to visit Israel. Did you visit with family, and if so how child friendly did you find various places you went to? Did you\u00a0go as part of a pre-organized tour, or did you make separate arrangements for day trips\/tours once you were there? Or did you just grab a guide book and explore? How much time did you spend in various places? Would spending a week in Jerusalem with perhaps one or two day trips from there be enough? What places did you visit, and which did you like most?<\/p>\n
