As the countdown to MBI Yud Zayin continues, things in the office are looking well in hand and energy will start to build more as we get closer to Sunday. I wanted to give some important information in the meantime.
First of all I want to make sure you all are aware of the possible issues with your domestic baggage. For those of you flying a domestic flight in the US,(Canadians flying to Toronto should be counted as an International flight and don't need to worry) there may be an added fee for your checked baggage. The only way to know for sure is to check what carrier your MBIer is flying with and what their policy is. I found a good reference sheet to clarify which can be found here: http://www.kayak.com/airline-fees. It still may be the best idea to contact your airline or read their website to make sure to avoid any suprises at the airport.
Many of you have been curious to see the list of Kibbutzim and they are as follows:
Ammiad
Alumot
Kinneret
Sha'ar Hagolan
Afikim
Bet Haemek
Kfar Blum/Amir
The MBIers will be split up between these Kibbutzim for the Machatz time period towards the end of the program.
Lastly for the free weekend of August 1st and 2nd. Times have not been finalized but the pick up and dropoff points are as follows.
Jerusalem Drop-off point: The Soldiers House/Yad Lebanim which is on Rehov Ben Tzvi(St) and is between Gan Sacher and Binyanei Haomah.
Tel-Aviv: Redding Terminal which is by Park Hayarkon on Rokach Rd.
Haifa: Lev Hamifratz parking lot
Again we will notify you soon of the times for the pick up and drop off. And if it was unclear, for those of you who will not be taking part in the free weekend, regular MBI programming will continue.
Thats all for now!

are you a parent?
if so, who is your child?
are you guys from tavor?
mine is georgia farley
and i have spoken to one other parent about meeting up at the security gate
so that my daughter doesn't walk to the departure gate by herself
(she has never flown by herself)
thanks martha
Ariana will also be there around 530. She will be watching for the other kids and I'm sure a bunch of them will end up together near security. Hopefully the airport will be pretty quiet then.
