We are currently at the Dayton "International" airport. We got up at 5am, the temperature was -5 Celsius, and it will not go over freezing point today. From here to Washington, from there to JFK, and from there to TLV, where the weather is somewhat warmer. We will stay in Tel Aviv for the next two weeks, and return on December 30th to celebrate the New Year in the States.
It is my first "home vacation" after such a long term abroad. To some extent I feel that I'm not entirely home in either places; in Israel we don't have a home anymore, and we will be staying with our families, with all the consequences of that. On the other hand, I still don't feel that Cincinnati is my home, although I did start to feel at home in our flat. Perhaps if it was another city in the USA, e.g. Boston or Seattle, it would feel differently. I don't know.
We spent the few days before our flight celebrating the sudden change from a very busy quarter (for both of us) to total freedom. I think that D even found that there is too much free time on her hands. We spent it well, though, with going to pubs, watching a movie (the new James Bond - what a horrible film), more pubs, and more shopping. It was a much deserved time off and I think we enjoyed it greatly.
We'll see you back in Israel soon.

Seriously, can't wait to see the both of you, hope you won't be too busy with the families.
