Barb,
I got rejected at Erez Crossing after waiting four hours today. Unless a miracle happens, I probably won't get in before I return. I'm going to spend the rest of my time poking around East Jerusalem and the West Bank. If I can get to Nablus or Jenin, that would be great.
Jennifer should have gotten into Rafah sometime around midday today. George still hasn't gotten his press card. He may have it tomorrow and would go soon after that, though it will only give him one and a half days in Rafah unless he extends his ticket, which is something he and Jennifer have considered.
If they do so, they would then stay in Rafah until Monday and return to the U.S. on Tuesday.
