What we’re about
There have been many requests for a travel group, and I will plan many outings that involve day or weekend trips, plus local events. We will focus on activities that our significant others may not be as enthusiastic about as we are. There are many places to explore within driving distance, and some of us may want to travel to far away places with great food, wine and culture. We may even invite the men, at times!
We will have some social events for getting to know each other better, but this group will focus on travel and prepaid events. I will research high quality restaurants, accommodations, and activities, even if it is just for a day trip. I'm not a travel agent, so I am not planning these trips for profit, or to be like a tour group. I'm looking for travel companions who also may not have any, so we can explore the destinations together. For that reason, the focus of this group is to stay together on trips. I'm not booking rooms so everyone can go off on their own. There will be free time, and I will also ask for suggestions in advance for each trip we take, so I can plan the schedule and make restaurant reservations. I want to do most of the planning in advance because these are my vacations too, and I would like to enjoy the time we are there. Many of these trips will be planned around events and festivals, so we have a focus for our trip. While we have free time when we're away on longer trips, we will explore the unique shopping areas of that town, and do some sight seeing. This is an active group, so keep in mind that many trips will involve quite a bit of walking. I look forward to the fun times we will have together!

"The movie hits the sweet spot between a truly light-hearted comedy and a real drama, with engaging characters you care about and funny situations, but with a strong narrative and a heart-felt message about treating people with respect, no matter where they are from." Hannah Brown, The Jerusalem Post
Despite living legally in Israel for five years, Eritrean refugee Aumari is slated for deportation on a technicality. After ducking immigration authorities at the airport, he becomes the unlikely and very perplexed recipient of a hero’s welcome, courtesy of local football club Maccabi Netanya. Mistaken for an eagerly anticipated Nigerian striker who is supposed to arrive at the same time, Aumari is in an absurd situation. Though completely lacking a fundamental knowledge of the sport, he finds himself the face of the franchise. Caught between his new identity as “Jimmy Mikel,” the nascent star invigorating the team and fanbase, and the refugee with expired papers, Aumari must remain focused on his mission: keeping his identity under wraps long enough to secure safe passage out of the country to reunite with his beloved younger brother.
