Leaving on a Jet Plane

Well the time has come. Tomorrow is the day we leave to Israel.
The flight will be made up of only poeple who are making Alyiha. This means that instead of going on a regular 12 hour fligh, where i would sleep 10 hours, the flight will be a party.
There is a ceremony for us at both ends of the flight.
While in NY, there is a going away ceremony where anyone can come and say goodbye to us. Then when we land, there is a welcome home ceremony, where it is not uncome for a big leader, such as the prime minister, Bibi, or even Avigdor Lieberman, Israel's forign minister.

After the five seminars, i love my group. We really mesh well together.

As excited as i am to go, i am sad to leave my friends. It is hard to say goodbye to the people that have made you laugh for the last 13 years. I know that they will go on to do great things but at the same time, there is a part of me that wants time to stop so that i can hang out with them one more day and joke around and not have a care in the world.
It is equally as hard to say goodbye to a brother whom you share everything with and the parents whom you can go to at anytime of the day and talk to with. However, with the power of technology, I know that i will be able to keep in touch with them and it will be as if i never left.
