Unfortunately the unpronoucable volcano in Iceland, that would be the Eyjafjallajokull volcano, that caused all the problems with European air travel put an end to our trip to Israel for now. Our second connection was through Frankfurt Germany. Germany started canceling flights the day before we were supposed to leave. By the time our trip was scheduled to fly all flights in and out of Germany had been canceled indefinitely.
We have rescheduled our trip for mid June. We lost our deposit on the first trip, it will be much hotter in June and it will cost a little more to stay there but we think it is important for Cadel to meet the Shitrit side of his family. For those of you who do not speak Hebrew I know Shitrit looks funny in English but it sounds just fine when pronounced properly.
All in all the situation could have been much worse. We could have been stuck in Germany with a ten month old and no where to stay and with no one who spoke German. That would have been terrible. Now if we were stuck in Israel I really wouldn't complain too much. Oh well. At least it is a good story for Cadel's first attempted trip to Israel.
