<p>Hi Tordes,<br /> Ken and I had a wonderful tri

<p>Hi Tordes,<br /> Ken and I had a wonderful trip to Israel. Everything went very well. Our guide Nedal Abdo was fantastic. He made our trip memorable and worked very hard to make sure everybody&#39;s needs were met. His English was clear and audible. He answered every question well and even had a fun sense of humor. Nedal was kind considerate and had impeccable manners. He was neat and clean and presented himself professionally. His views were unbiased and he is a great teacher. The trip itinerary was comprehensive and we enjoyed everyday very much. Thank you for all of your help with our trip planning. Russell and Linda enjoyed the trip as well. We all missed Sharon and John. <br /> Sincerely,</p>
