Nothing out of the ordinary has happened which is a praise :) The flight was fine and we've had a nice layover in Philly. Unfortunately, I didn't get to see (or steal) the Declaration of Independence, but I did have a delicious philly cheesesteak. Actually, it consisted of chicken because meat with cheese isn't Kosher.
Being in a group of 19 matching team members has sparked some attention. I've had more stares than when I wear wedges to school! Although it's little uncomfortable at times, wearing matching blue polos is a great conversation starter. At our gate, a team member noticed a lady starting to tear up when we arrived. After a bit of conversation she said that she was Jewish and was so excited to hear we are going to Israel. She went there in 2006 and loved it! Needless to say, reppin' the blue polos has already created some fascinating reactions.
Now I have three hours to kill before ten hours of flight...

p.s. - my mom just gave us a mini panic attack, our passports went missing for 5 minutes
