Amman

CAVEAT
Due to the size of the keyboard and time available to blog, these entries are going to be brief. So, it may make it easier for those of you who are interested in certain topics to get to them.

Friday/Saturday, February 20-21

We took off on time, made the requisite stop in Montreal to pick up some French Canadian tourists and were off to Amman. Our arrival went quite smoothly, with money exchanges, luggage pick up, security and immigration. The only loss? One of my T Barry luggage tags; what can I say? He is adorable!

With a little luck and a little assertion on the part of Pastor Matthew Bode (our all-important male escort in this situation), we found the airport bus to downtown, then took two cabs to the Jerusalem International Hotel. After a nice dinner, during which a few of us indulged in their “special wine,” which turned out to be Mateus (70s flashback!), we retired for the night.

I found Inside Edition, David Letterman and later, Inside the Actor’s Studio featuring Elton John – all with Arabic subtitles.
