Nice pickup. When I was in Israel I never had a chance to pick up any of their coinage or take in sites, it was all training. I guess I could have tried to exchange some with one of the Israeli soldiers, but never thought of it at the time. I did get to travel to the Tel Aviv airport from Haifa port to drop someone off...at night, but that is about all the site seeing I got in.

Airport to training... sound about right for military life. I went on my own dime so I had plenty of time to see the sight. It's a cool place. I was never there in a military capacity so I never so any of their bases or exchanges. They might have had some cool stuff! Too bad you couldn't see the sites though, that sucks.
Well, the ship we were on ported in Haifa. One of my buddies had to fly back home for a family emergency, so we toook him to the Tel Aviv airport. I was never on any of their bases, we went straight to the desert training areas from port and then back.
