How To Travel Like A Family And Stay A Family (Part III)
Posted on: May 10th, 2013
Sections → Jewess Press → Daily LivingAs I mentioned in my earlier articles about our family trip to Israel, our night flight went pretty smooth, thanks to my children’s willingness to sleep throughout the flight. I, on the other hand, didn’t sleep a wink and I wasn’t feeling too great by the time we landed.
