I’m going on a trip to the Holy Land this month with a group from my church. I am extremely nervous about going, but it is a trip of a lifetime and can only pray that we will be safe.

Lucky you.
Stay with the group, as the saying goes.
Keep ID with you at all times.
Up to date photos and addresses may be a good idea.

If you can keep a copy of your ID, Visa and ticket info good in case first set gets lost in all the excitement.
I don’t know about packing any needed medications. I have only traveled within the country for the last 40 years.
Somebody on here probably knows about that, if an issue.

What the hell does him having a brother matter? Fail.

Reading comprehension. If you remove the extra phrases, the title's sentence is: Brother says he [arrested guy] was there for a wedding

“Russia arrests vacationing American for spying”

No patience for media nowadays.

He is a very odd guy. He was demoted to private and got a bad conduct discharge in 2008 because among other things being a computer administration he forged a recommendation for himself to get a Legion of Merit medal. Other stuff too like forging stuff to draw extra pay and forging orders to stay in Miramar and not return to Michigan.

Seems to be rather stupid and overly ambitious craving attention and recognition.

His brother is a twin, by the way.
