yud shvat trip
soooo, heres the rundown on my extremely exciting trip to the rebbe for yud shvat. ill just say the highlights, as to save space and time. we left here like really early in the morning, with a lot of empty suitcases, and went on a plane, went through customs at atlanta, boarded a new plane, and arrived in ny like five. our taxi took us to 770, where i promptly ran into moishe. we proceeded to go to his place, where he gave me his extra cool (as in stylish) coat. i got to see malky, and enjoyed a wonderful meal. (happy moishe?). the next day, i went to the ohel vchulu, then later we had a camp reunion which was very nice, then i went to spend some time with ta at tobys apt. malky was also there, bh. then i farbrenged, went on mivtzoim friday, and did all the bochur stuff. (whenever theres a pause in the narrative, its because im doing bochur stuff, e.g. farbrenging, learning, or davening... you know. motzei shabbos me and co. (get it?) took out three kids in our bunk (all the kids that were in ny and werent preoccupied with bowling), and had a great time at the pizza shop. i actually was planning on going to the ohel on suday with a venezuelan, but due to unforeseen circumstances, this plan did not come to fruition (he went with some other guys). we made it to the airport with ten suitcases, loaded up with food, two per person. the only problem was that eight or nine were overweight. so we camped out at teh counter for twenty minutes, sticking stuff into carry ons and rearranging, till finally we got them all underweight. trust me, it was a lot of fun. nothing eventful happened, besides for watching two brady interceptions in the ten minutes we had at the atlanta gate, until caracas. basically, after we finally got nine pieces of luggage (which took quite a while), we loaded them through an x ray machine. the lady saw all the food and made us stand on the side. (last time that happened, i needed to bribe the guy. seriously.) so were standing there, when all of a sudden another lady comes by, starts arguing with the first lady, and waves us all through. pretty cool. as we walked into the room where all the people are waiting, i naturally gave them one of those president waves (if you dont get it, ill demonstrate for you later), and thats that. hope you enjoyed, any questions, you know who to ask. thanks so much ma and ta for everything

thanks for the play by play (including the interceptions) but all is well that ends well. Other than the food adventures, sounds like your whirlwind trip went well. did you see the guys on mivtzaim that I met at the GA? I did not realize that you had to bring food back with you, chavez does not provide it all? Sorry we did not get to chat before you left on Sunday but it sounds like each moment was accounted for during your trip. Stay well and keep in touch, hijo

"where i promptly ran into moishe. we proceeded to go to his place, where he gave me his extra cool (as in stylish) coat. i got to see malky, and enjoyed a wonderful meal. "
