Thumbs up PHX-ATL-TLV R/T for 1 week vacation

July 8, 2006

After I woke up about 6:00am and I didn't sleep well for us in the morning and I just try to do phone call some of relatives some cities to came by goodbye to them. We took the shower before get ready head for PHX airport and we drive to Walgreens first to get the camera for my mom. Then we went head for PHX for parking the car in the east economy garage B. Then remember when where we parking on the level 2. After we went downstairs wait for terminal shuttle. We was on the way from economy garage to terminal 3. After we are check in at the ticket counter for international flight to TLV. I know DL won't let us online check in for international flights. When we show both of us the passport to DL agent. After the competed check in counter and they gave us the boarding pass. The DL agent to do let me put on the baggage tags for all 3 checked baggage to TLV. After DL lady help us go to x-ray machine to do screening ours bags.

After I told TSA about ours bags is being locked and I put on the x-ray machine and he told me let do himself to put the bags in the x-ray machine. Then the x-ray machine has been cleared for 3 bags out and they put on the belt for catch the flights to ATL then TLV. After we left from the x-ray machine. We went upstairs to go through checkpoint and show out the boarding pass & passport, too. After we are at the checkpoint and I took out the laptop to put on the bins and then I went through. But, I didn't take shoes off either while I through the metal detector. I saw TSA employees was there and he was wait for me at the metal detector and I am being allowed me to do leave the shoes on. I am never had anything problems the shoes at all. I came to say goodbye to TSA employees that I told him we are going to Israel. Then we are at the gate area and the gate number is 17 await my aircraft is incoming from ATL. I was watch the plane while they are unloading the bags off the aircraft. Then I walked back to the gate 17 wait for the called when we are boarding time to ATL. I walk over to the DL agent if I could ask her which the ship# our aircraft is leave for ATL then TLV.

After the passengers is getting inside the aircraft and but, it wasn't full flight to ATL. I sat down by 28D and the men is right next to me. While the aircraft is secure. After we are ready for takeoff in the south runway and we heading out from PHX. After I look out the windows that I saw Chase Field and the roof didn't open for today. Become D-Backs is away on the road trip for while. the plane is turning north to then go to east. After I told the men that if he can change the seat in the exit row seat. I decide that If I can get sleep all 3 seat and I able do some sleep during the flight to ATL. After they served the refreshment and I told her that I didn't want one for me. I decide that I look out the windows to see what is going on out there. We are climb over in 30,000 feet head over from the state. The flight was good after we are landed early about after 7:20pm. I await the passengers get off the plane and but, we are at the concourse B gate. We decide want go get eat dinner and I haven't ate the lunch after we left from PHX.

We left from the B gate to take the trains to concourse E for next flight to TLV. We staying in ATL for 3 hours become due to the security reason at the gate E-17 & E-18. After we been sweeping out from the gate and become ATL police have to do search over in the between E-17 & E-18. They have to do gate search all the passengers before the flight is leave for TLV. No one being allowed to do leave from the gate area become the security reason is little tight to check make sure it is everything safe for the passengers. We have to stayed in the gate area before my flight is leave for Israel. We are on the zone 4 for boarding time is ready and I saw lof the children who get on the board first. It is too many of them.

After we saw the lady who flew from PBI and she was flying to Israel for 3 weeks visit with realatives. I afraid that she fly with her children is fly to TLV. She was sitting in the gate area before DL agents was called. I saw AF was there parking at the E-14 for bound to CDG. After we ready get on the board the aircraft. I sat down 35D and my mom is sitting 35A. The flight wasn't full at all and the men was came by sit next to me at 35F. After the boarding is completed and we are ready for pushback from the gate. Then we are heading to south runway and the plane is turning west and then takeoff the aircraft. I watch following down on the flight tracker to TLV.

After I went to sleep during the flight out from USA to TLV. I came to say goodbye to USA. I sleep few times during their way to Israel and I heard the baby is screaming all the times over the flight to Israel. I didn't like it well enough for too many children who get onboard the flight to TLV. Then I check out the windows if I could see the sunrise is coming out.

We are crusing over 41,000 feet and 500 or 600mph. I watch on the flight tracker again to check out we are flying Ireland, England, France, Switzerland, Italy and then outside Greece. We are crusing over near SNN, DUB, LHR/LGW, CDG, GVA, MXP and then we are continuing the way to TLV. I know that I am being back to Europe again while I was flew to Italy years ago during my brother marry there in FLR. We are almost there to Israel and but, the plane is coming down and it was fantastic flight to TLV.

After we are landing in TLV and everyone is wonderful to make it for 11 hours on the plane to Israel. After we wait the passengers to get off the plane and we walk upstairs to the passport control & Baggage Claim. But, we wait there for taking 5 or 10 mins get clear the passengers to check the passport. After we are next to do get on the counter with the lady. She checked our passport and exactly mine it is everything is good. I told her it was my first time in Israel. But passport control agent told my mom that is problem the passport while she live there in Israel years ago and she called another lady to come over see her and then we followed her to another office right near the passport control. We wait there for few mins and while she is in the office to check the passport. Then she is ready for come out from the office and she said it is okay for her that she is being allowed to stay there in Israel. She told her next time when my mom bring Israeli Passport. Then we are exiting the Baggage Claim and we are looking for another lady who direct took us to the hotel. Then, we ask the men about where is the lady while we take there to the Hotel and after my mom that she saw the lady was there. Then we walk over to the exchange the Israeli money for us and then Masha the driver came by to pick us up take there to the hotel. We are stay there for 1 week. The flight was too long from USA to TLV. I will write more another trip reports for next one.

Regards
