This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Went there for 10 days in March, 2017 by SB Jimbo

The weather was just about perfect. I recall only wearing a light jacket 2 days. It was pretty much Dockers or jeans with a long or short sleeve shirt the rest of the time. Remember to pack a bathing suit for the Dead Sea.

I've linked the itinerary to give you some ideas on what to see. I was part of a tour group, but it appears you'll be touring on your own. As such I suggest you contact this group as they can probably recommend guides for you.

You'll also notice the hotels we stayed at are included in the link. They're all 4-5*, and all meals are buffet style (think Vegas for quantity). The selections are always a mixture of American & Israeli cuisine and all were excellent.

One other thing I liked that hadn't occurred to me. It wasn't necessary to get Euros as every place we went accepted American $.

Enjoy your trip.
