Heading home

Word to the wise: Don't be late to Ben Gurion airport. The justly-famous Israeli security is thorough and time-consuming.

But it isn't unpleasant, and within an hour I'm through the process and on to a cup of coffee and the airport wireless access.

Today I will spend most of the day heading home. Look for a fuller report from my trip in the Sunday pages of The Miami Herald's Travel section and online at www.MiamiHerald.com/travel in July.

Check back here in mid-June, when I'll be filing daily trip reports from China.
