Snack Time flight

All of my worries and trepidations about coming to Israel evaporated on the El Al flight. It was like traveling with friends and relatives, assuming your circle runs the gamut from nose rings to sidelocks. At first it seemed normal, except the airline attendants were much friendlier. But every time I got up to stretch I started talking to someone who had a really neat story. We were all the same whether coming to Israel to study, visit family, do business, whatever. There was such a relaxed atmosphere and, as i had been warned, way too much food! I learned not to try and go to the bathroom while they're davenning. But then there was snack time. I noticed people starting to head to the back of the plane in their stocking feet - yoga? - and coming back with drinks and cookies. I investigated and sure enough there the passengers were lined up like little summer campers with the counselors doling out snacks. I was mesmerized! I'll always fly El Al - thanks, Diane. Plus I got lots of valuable travel tips/
