1. In Israel everything shuts down on Friday afternoon about 3:00 in
preparation for Shabbat.
2. Stock your fridge before 3:00 on Friday with things to eat for Saturday.
3. The Vital HAS: bath soap, lotion (not great quality if you have very
dry skin), shampoo, hair dryer, 2 bathrobes and 2 pairs of slippers.
4. You will need power converters. I bought 2 of these: Power converter
5. When you enter your room at the Vital there is a little electric box by
the door. You have to put your door key in it so your lights will come on.
6. If someone is in the shower/tub and you have to leave the room, make sure
to leave a key in the little electric box or the person showering will be
in the dark.
7. Bring a water bottle. There is filtered water in the lobby by the front
desk and in the business lounge. I wish that I would have brought one,
I'm refilling a plastic one that I bought.
8. There is a drug store, like a Walgreens, in the mall. They have
everything that you could need! I didn't need to bring lotion, extra
toothbrushes, anti-perspirant, etc. It is a waste of luggage space.
They even have contact lenses (over the counter!) and skin care.
9. Bring an HDMI cable so you can watch movies using your laptop. I brought
our Chrome Cast and it won't work here because of the way that the
internet works.
10. Have 7-Up or something carbonated in your hotel room. You might need it
if you are nauseous.
11. My amazing friend, Marilyn, that is taking care of me brought essential
oils and a diffuser. This has been very helpful! Lavender at night and
Peppermint when I was nauseous.
12. I will add to this list as the next couple of weeks go by!
Sending prayers to my buddy! Love the updates!
