The Laughlins

We went to campus to register today. There were many rooms that we had to find, sit and wait for our turn, and then proceed to the next room. We got our new health insurance that starts immediately, so that is good. If we travel anywhere outside of Israel, we can pay about $2.50 a day to be covered for the trip, so that is very nice. Also, even though I am only attending Hebrew U for the summer (at least that is the plan for now), it sounds like they will still extend my health insurance through the school year as well. We also got a Talk-N-Save plan through the school. We got two Nokia phones for free (which are literally the exact same phones we brought to Israel - just new), we paid $100 for the year, and then we just get charged for calls (no monthly costs). Mark and I can call each other or anyone else with a Cellcom phone in Israel (which is anyone at Hebrew U) for 1.9 cents a minute. We also got our student ID cards, which literally save you 30-50% off of the entrance to most attractions in Israel (museums, theaters, zoos, historical locations, etc.). Tomorrow we need to go back to get our computer access codes/passwords.

Basically, our cell numbers are the BEST PHONE NUMBERS to reach us at for three reasons: 1) All incoming calls are free for us, 2) you can reach us wherever we are, since we will be out and about many times, and 3) it has voicemail, which our home phone does not. Here are our numbers (calling from the US):
Aubrey - 011-972-52-312-5925
Mark - 011-972-52-312-5817
