Hi Vicky. As a retired couple with a fat budget pension, in order to finance it, standards are closed or young people with families are cut back to half jobs or percentages, maybe you will still consider the hundreds of thousands of shekels you burn on trips and sailing and cruises and flights - to donate
For families who have been living in Halat for two months, who don't know where to get a mortgage, whose business has collapsed, and who don't even dream of going on vacation in Cyprus, let alone trips and cruises.
We must cut the fat pits of the budget pension that go to waste in the world and we have an example of that.
We are a couple of retirees who are supposed to go on vacation from the USA to South America at the beginning of January to Buenos Aires and after two days board a cruise to other countries such as Chile, Uruguay, Antarctica and more
What is your recommendation for the intended time and route, should we cancel or not? Thank you in advance,
I think that Gaza should be occupied if only so that we can vacation abroad close to home.
This will be an alternative to Sinai. Don't build anything there, empty the area, and rent everything out as shacks and tents on the beaches..
Some tents at Nova Beach.
So we will go to Mongolia
