I'll be so relieved.................

When I'm finally actually in Turkey! Getting ready is driving me nuts. The latest hassle to come up is why the travel agent kept my passport to get my visa. I think she has it because she had to use the passport to get the visa. If she'd given it back to me I would have put it in my purse. To add to the confusion there's another object called a visa that I can't get until I get to the airport in Turkey. I saw a picture on a web site of people standing in line at Ataturk International to purchase their visas, which have to be in U.S. dollars if you're a U.S. citizen. Whew!

Let me know some helpful tips when you get back! My girlfriend has to travel there next year for Business, and we could really use some Do's and Dont's.

I hope the experience in Turkey is better than the troubles of planning the trip.

It'll all be fine and well worth all the planning and worrying, verte!

You'll have a wonderful time and then you won't even remember these hassles.

Take lots of pics for us!

Oh, I'm sure it will be well worth the hassle, and then some. I'm going to think I've died and gone to heaven once I'm there. Nine thousand years of history and all of that fantastic art! Wow!
