This is NOT a shopping trip. Our focus will be on God and His Word in the context of the Holy Land. I have found the most cherished souvenir is often a stone collected from a site that was especially meaningful. I have a shelf in my study with a lot of stones, each marked with their location, as a personal reminder of God's lessons to me.
That being said, I will try to arrange two very brief opportunities for what my friend George DeJong calls “hunting”. "Hunting" is buying, but you wouldn't call it shopping. You'll have an opportunity to look for something to purchase, but as soon as you see it, you need to "pull the trigger."
So, I'll try to give you a time to quickly buy something, but you probably won't really feel you've had a chance to "shop", since it won't be done at a leisurely pace.
My advice: Forget about the gold...go for the stones!
