My Top Five Israel Travel Items (1 of 5)

April 19, 2011 by Debbie Hannah Skinner Leave a Comment

After two study tours of Israel, I’ve learned a few things about what to pack when I go there that you may find helpful.

Item #1- Wide Brimmed Hat

Both times I’ve been to Israel it’s been in the spring, but no matter when you go, the sun is always a factor. The first year I found a hat at TJMaxx for a steal. It sufficed, but when I got my photos back from the trip, I had quite a surprise. That’s when I realized that I looked like I’d stolen the hat from the closet of Napoleon Bonaparte.

Call me vain, but I don’t like the idea that I’ll be looking back at my Holy Land photos for the next 20 years and thinking, “My, oh, my… there’s that Napoleon chapeau again.” (chapeau=hat in French, one of the few words I remember from high school French class) I decided to invest in a good Tilley brand “Airflo” hat this year. I’m so glad I did.

 

The point of a Biblical study tour in the Holy Land is not to make a fashion statement. In fact, we hiked about 5 miles a day and I looked like I’d been working out in the yard most of the time. Nevertheless, a sturdy, comfortable hat is a must… and did I say wide-brimmed?

Tilley’s are more expensive than many other brands, but they’re well worth their cost since they are cool, washable, and pack well. If they ever wear out, the company will replace it for free!!! The hat I bought has an under chin tie, a really handy feature on windy days in the Mideast (and of which there were several).

The Greatest Classroom Ever!

April 17, 2011 by Debbie Hannah Skinner Leave a Comment

Study Tour in Israel!

Class time in Samaria

We just returned from a study tour in Israel and, once again, my heart is full with the sights and sounds of Israel!

Dr. James Martin of Bible World Seminars has the greatest classroom I’ve ever seen— the Holy Land! His amazing ability to weave Bible truths with history, archaeology, and an understanding of the culture and political landscape of Bible times is both inspirational and challenging.

For a visual/tactile-kinesthetic learner like me, a study tour like this is a dream come true. I painted a bit on the trip and will be sharing my paintings in subsequent posts.
