Well, had quite the adventure already! At 3 am on the 18th, Lufthansa cancelled our flight due to a pilots' strike. Overseas Adventure within 30 minutes of our call, had booked us on Delta to Paris, then Paris to Istanbul. Checked in at SeaTac and the Delta agents booked us all the way through to Istanbul first class! Yahoo! Made for a very long day anyway. Arrived in Paris, actually just the airport, on the 19th and left late for Istanbul, Turkey.
Arrived at Istanbul without any incidents! Unpacked, took a much needed shower, which revitalized us just enough to walk to the restaurant for dinner. Wonderful lamb dinner with great service! The pillows are calling my name....time for some real sleep! Note: This hotel is really quite beautiful. Rick is also tired - more photos to come. Another note: We're not in Kansas, Toto! The call to prayers is real, real loud!!! Our hotel is directly across the street from the Blue Mosque!
Wow, I have finally figured out how to comment on your blog and others from blogspot. And it could not have come at a better time! I can't wait to see and hear about your adventures in Europe. Are you on a tour, or just doing this by yourself. And what a great thing to be able to fly over 1st class, I'm sure it was much better than being in the normal area.
