Welcome 2024 travelers to Israel and the Holy Land. This is our first session of many over the next 10 months to helps us "front load" as much as possible so we get the most out of our trip. In this session we start with our first destination: Caesarea Marittima. Herod the Great, Peter, Paul, and Pontius Pilate all have history in this amazing city built by Herod the Great to honor Caesar Augustus
