Vacation In Israel

If a bomb goes off on a train or bus, I guarantee the aftermath will not be too fabulous. If I found myself in Haifa, Jerusalem, or Tel Aviv, the first thing I would want to do is leave. I can name so many other places for a vacation. In the Middle East, staunch hostility surrounds this nation. They are not shooting at each other in Tahiti. How many terrorists are roaming in Hawaii?

There will always be the elements whom create terrorism. It's just a matter of time for it to fester everywhere. Bit I sincerely hope not, James :)

Very true, Sir. Some other nice choices with no bombers would be Brazil, Greenland and Madagascar. Besides, they speak very nice languages in those. Not to say that Hebrew is not a good languag but I prefer Portuguese, Greenlandic & Malagasy.

I recently went to Israel and was not worried at all and had a very good time there. I would like to check out Tahiti - plenty of vahines. Now I will read your baseball poem..

If there are any, they are basking in the sun at the beaches! It has been lovely and warm and breezy here this spring. Good one Robert!
