This post covers the third in our long road trip in North America. Previous post is here. First post is here. First Day in San Francisco Two hours past midnight, in a dark motel room, in a strange new place, still laying in their big bed, our two boys woke up and started prattling away. [...]

Travels in America – Part 3 – Flying to San Francisco

IsraeliMom — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 16:10:38 +0000

Several months prior to our date of departure, I had already booked our flights, placed an order with a car rental company and made hotel reservations for our first month of the trip. By the time we had only one month left, pretty much everything, except for the bags themselves, was ready. We had my [...]

Big Brother Israeli – Season Four

IsraeliMom — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 18:55:03 +0000

Finally! Season Four of the Israeli version of Big Brother started on Sunday. As with previous seasons, I am going to post about the housemates, for those of you who speak some Hebrew and try to follow the show. These posts have proved to be very popular in the past, so I decided to take [...]

Travels to America – Part 2 – Preparations

IsraeliMom — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 15:32:55 +0000

Pretty much every Israeli has a valid passport on hand. Just in case that… you know. However to visit US, an Israeli citizen must first procure a VISA stamp in said passport. Getting a US tourist VISA is expensive and irksome. I suspect most of those reading this blog have never gone through it themselves, [...]

It’s been two months since we returned from our travels in the USA & Canada in 2011. Finally settling back into our comfortable routine, I think I finally have the time and energy to blog again. If it’s alright with you all, I’d like to share here some of our travel stories and replay our [...]

Home is Where

This post is about a campaign calling Israelis who left for the US to come back home. When we were traveling in the US, browsing Israeli websites from American ip addresses, the ads kept coming up. “Come back home before Abba turns into Daddy”. Abba being the Hebrew word for Daddy. They had several versions [...]

Almost Going Back

IsraeliMom — Sun, 23 Oct 2011 06:30:18 +0000

Wow. That’s pretty much what comes to my mind when I hesitantly try to review the past five and a half months. Two more nights to go (not counting tonight, mind), and then we’re getting on a plane and flying back home. I still can’t wrap my head around everything we saw and did. I [...]

Hello from the USA

IsraeliMom — Sat, 25 Jun 2011 17:48:27 +0000

We’ve been on the road for almost 40 days now and finally, I have some time to update this blog too. “Too” is used because I regularly update my travel blog in Hebrew, with plenty of images for every day. Seeing as I have no time to update both blogs, I started adding a recap [...]
