We had spent the last 2 or 3 weeks in Israel meeting up with family and friends, saying goodbyes, drinking wine, eating BBQs, packing the house, packing our rucksacks. All of that while trying to work, send the kids to school and generally get on with life.
Packing our rucksacks was one of the harder tasks, trying to be as minimal as possible, while making sure we have enough stuff for the kids.
We are trying to travel pretty light so have left with 2 large rucksacks, 4 small backpacks and a mini pack for our little guy. Not a lot of stuff but we hope it will be enough. By the morning of the 19th, they were the only possessions left in our house.
In reality, the final couple of days weren't as hectic as we thought they might be. We had organised most things in good time and so it was just a case of a final chance to see our close family and say goodbye.
And so on 19th October, we handed over our house to our tenants and left.
At 12.45pm, we got into a cab and drove off.
At 3.55pm, we took off from Ben Gurion airport and were on our way to Bangkok.
All kind of matter-of-fact, no dramas, no last-minute hitches.
Goodbye Israel, see you in 2019...
