Have not watched any television experts or read much but have heard a some intelligent and interesting people speak. Have a special interest. Wife was to be in the Holy Land for a trip in November. I was hoping to get in or make another trip in March. Airlines have yet to cancel the trip. Sorta waiting on that to alleviate filing the insurance claim.
