Getting ready to leave, packing has been relatively painless so far. Going out today t0 get the last of the things I need--new shoes and a computer case--and let's not forget a haircut!
It's been an interesting week--after going to the national mall twice in four days--for the inauguration of a president no less--jetting out of the country. Definitely an amusing bit of timing. It'll definitely be interesting to see how Israelis respond to Obama. Irrespective of the fact that Bush foreign policy generally destabilized the region, he did pour huge amounts of money into the Israeli government's hands...however, I get the feeling maybe that's not what the Israelis really need...it'll be interesting to see whether Israelis agree with that assessment, or think that any decrease in cash flow (not to mention weapons) from the US is a bad thing.
