I'm looking for an exciting part of the world to spend my honeymoon. Any opinions on the choice of Israel for several weeks? (We're not Jewish, if that matters any.) Lynn Abbott ...houti!ala AT&TIS 1F-514 Holmdel, NJ

I would suggest that for a little more money,a cruise starting
in pireaus(Athens),Greece, through the greek islands (including Crete),
down to Alexandria,Egypt across to Tel Aviv,Israel and back to Pireaus.
I took a similar cruise in '76 (not including Israel tensions with the arab
world !!) and found the greek islands to be hauntingly beautiful and romantic
Excitement and pure other worldliness of the bazaars in Egypt is not easily
forgotten.I do regret not being able to spend any time in Israel and also
missing out on Istanbul whilst I was in the area(maybe next time).
Information for the cruises can be found through American Express travel
brochures(expensive and then some more) or from the greek office of tourism,
new york city.
I would check on the costs of this type of venture as well as a two week stay
in Israel as I understand costs are still escalating.
Do and see as much as you can,lots of luck
