Please join me on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land. We will be traveling on October 28, 2012, to Amman Jordan. While in Jordan we will visit Petra, a city carved in stone, traveling toward the Jordan River we will reach the location ascribed to St. Mary of Egypt and the site where Elijah went up into the Heavens on his fiery chariot.
From Jordan we will enter Israel through the Sea of Galilee, visiting many of the sites where Jesus ministered to multitudes, traveling to locations rich in Biblical history. Jerusalem, the jewel of the journey will be our final destination. On November 10th we fly home from Tel Aviv.
Our guide will be Orthodox Priest, Father Ilya Gotlinsky, who has lead many pilgrimages to Jerusalem as well as pilgrimages all over the world. As someone who has been in the Holy Land many times he will have access and connect us to unique locations.
The cost of your journey will be $2,550 which does not include airfare. Fr. Ilya is currently working on a group fare. A $500 down payment can be made to hold your place on this very special pilgrimage.1
Our focus on the pilgrimage will be visiting Holy places. We will intertwine time for journaling, sketching and photography. As part of the trip you will receive a sketchbook/journal, as well as some basic materials, to help you create a special remembrance of your journey. We will discuss journaling processes from a creative point of view which is my specialty; as well as gaining familiarity of many holy sites through Fr. Ilya’s perspective and experience on this unique journey.
Let me know if you are interested in receiving the itinerary for this wonderful pilgrimage.
I hope you will join us.2

Moresby as part of a strategy of isolating Australia from the United States. Initially only limited Australian forces were available to oppose them, and after making rapid progress the Japanese South Seas Force under Major General Tomitaro Horii clashed with under strength Australian forces from the Papuan Infantry Battalion and the Australian 39th Battalion on 23 July at Awala, forcing them back to Kokoda. Following a confused night battle on 28/29 July, the Australians were again forced to withdraw. The Australians attempted to recapture Kokoda on 8 August without success which resulted in heavy casualties on both sides, and the 39th Battalion was subsequently forced back to Deniki.Really it is a nice place.Kokoda Trail
