Educational Opportunities is a travel company that was created by the Methodist church more than 30 years ago and now is an independent organization. They offer trips all around the world, but they focus on what they call "travel with a purpose."
If you have found this blog then you can find their site and the brochure on line. Rest assured if you sign up, EO will send you a nice packet full of stuff and a really good sheet of suggestions for travel.
You can find their web site at http://www.missions.travelwithus.com
Look for the link to "Holy Land" and then look under 2009 and it will bring up the itinerary as well as the costs.
In the coming weeks I will flesh out their lists of sites with more information and suggested reading. But for now, perhaps, just take a look at their web site.

Initial Questions
Welcome!
Kathy and I are very excited about leading another tour of Israel. It has been three years since we’ve been and we look forward to having another pilgrimage/study tour with you.
This blog is for those who are interested in going as well as those who are ready to sign up.
Please feel free to post comments or questions. Your question is most likely someone else’s and a blog will help us answer more than just one person at a time. That is the fun part of a blog.
The questions that have already arisen:
How do I sign up?
Call 1800 247 0017 and tell the folks at Educational Opportunities you would like to on the “Holy Land Classic” leaving the US March 17. Please provide them with our tour host # 49336.
Is there a limit?
We would like to limit our group to the size of one bus, which is 50. After that we cannot guarantee that everyone will be together or have the same itinerary.
Is it physically taxing?
There is a lot of walking and lot of climbing in and out of a tour bus. You can count on seven hours of touring a day which is also demanding.
Where can I find more information?
The blog will have all the information in the next week, but if you would like a brochure immediately just call the number above or post a comment on this blog and we will get you one in the mail right away.
Is there a deadline?
It gets tough for EO to do all the flight reservations if you sign up too late. I would encourage everyone to see December as a deadline.
