Mount Nebo

[Judas Maccabeus]

I've only seen it from across the Dead Sea.

If I do get to Jordan, Petra is the spot that's at the top of my list.

Petra is the A ticket, but don't miss Jerash, Madaba and Mt. Nebo. Everything is about 1/2 the price of the "Zionist Entity".

Definitely. I have a tiny bit of regret I can’t do this since my past work / travel history makes this basically not an option.

Nazareth is probably my favourite city in the world (other than my own of course) and has some of my most precious memories.

Unless they think you are a Mossad agent, Jordan will let you in. I am known to be a missionary, and was almost deported for "proselytizing," and they still let me in.

There is absolutely no circumstance in which I will get caught in Jordan or other places given my history.

Let's just say my exit sticker started with a 1 the last few times.

Let's just say my exit sticker started with a 1 the last few times.

My last exit was a 3. The interviewer asked if I was a priest because I calmly answered her questions without hesitation. The guys I was with got 5s, and were snickering because their line was shorter. Until they had to dump out their suitcases and I didn't so much as remove my belt.

The flight was Malév to Budapest, which tells you how long ago it was. I should go back when the temperature stabilizes.

That trip also involved a fuel dump ticket. Another blast from the past.

[JohnH]

Yeah, with high fuel prices these days it’s a lot harder to just dump it on the ground.

(I never actually did a true FD on purpose. When they were easy I was only travelling domestically or to C6, which seemed to be a place that really discouraged fuel dumping (they’re very much into net zero CO2 emissions there).

[Judas Maccabeus]

I have been in an out of Jordan more times than I can count. My daughter taught school there. I have never been assigned any sort of number, are you all sure you are not talking about an Israeli number?

I do not recall ever being questioned by Jordanian authorities, other than stuff like “what is the purpose of your visit “?

I’m referring to the sticker you get at Israeli exit control.

I wouldn’t risk going to Jordan and probably wouldn’t even go to Bethlehem.

Wife: fascinating. I didn’t even know that was a thing. I wonder what they base those things on. maybe they saw all the random mennonet investigations you’ve done successfully and figured you must be Massad.

They definitely know I am not working for the Mossad, which is not an option for the goyim anyway.

Wife: Yeah, I thought about that after the fact. I still think that it’s quite a feat to get a one or a two on your exit pass. i’ve wondered how some of those countries would feel about our military backgrounds (not Israel, just some of the Middle Eastern countries).

The time I met you in person, if I remember correctly, you were or had been working for an Israeli based tech company and I believe I asked you whether you were Mossad.
