July 2011 is going to be amazing for two reasons. First of all, the month will have five full (Friday, Saturday and Sunday) weekends. This only happens once every 823 years. Secondly, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World, and one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been to, will be celebrating its 100-year re-discovery anniversary.

Every visitor to Israel must see Jerusalem – the cherry on the cake – but if you have at least one more day, why not see the icing? When you see the salt deposits at the Dead Sea you’ll think of whipped cream!
