There is nothing better than good friends - dear friends who travel across the globe to come visit. I have been blessed with such friends and dedicate this blog to them. As I've mentioned in past posts I now live in Israel, having left Canada nearly 2 years ago. It's been a huge adjustment and making new friends has been tricky. Maybe I'm picky? Probably, but good friends are hard to find so you must cherish the ones that you have.
This posting is long overdue. I got back from Thailand almost a month ago and am just now writing this. Sorry - things are hectic! Oh but what an adventure it was.

That said, even though the winter is short here, it definitely comes with a vengeance.
Today was an awesome day and I feel very inspired to share it with you.
Tel Aviv is an amazing city but perhaps my favourite part of going there is to travel slightly south and visit Old Jaffa. For those of you who have never been there, imagine stone buildings, a large port with fishermen hard at work, outdoor cafes and restaurants all abuzz with patrons and a million dollar view of the Mediterranean. Sound nice? It is.
So it's finally happening! I am taking the plunge and heading to Thailand in January and can't wait. I've never been before which makes it all the more exciting. The plan is to spend 3 or so nights in Bangkok and then to hit the Island of Krabi for a week. Sound luxurious? I sure as heck hope so!
Unfortunately, there’s not a segment of the travel industry that’s free of rip-offs, and the rental car industry is no exception. Here’s what to be aware of and how to avoid common rental car scams.
