cellioNot only am I going to Israel (yay!), but it happens to work out that I'll be in Jerusalem the same night as the local SCA group's next event, and it's a 20-minute walk from my hotel, and the travel itinerary says "evening on your own". Well, that's an easy decision. When the Shire of Ma'ale Giborim formed and the founders invited me to be an honorary member of the group, I never imagined that I'd have the chance to actually show up at something. :-)
(We will have other nights in Jerusalem, so I'm not missing out on my only chance to see the city or anything like that.)
