From Boston to Istanbul

Since John was already in Ireland, I was meeting him in Istanbul. The lovely man at Alitalia check-in put me in first class from Boston...lovely.

We met at Baggage Claim in Istanbul -John’s bag was lost…My lock was broken, but we were together...and very tired.
We grabbed a taxi to our hotel, the Empress Zoe, very funky.

The Empress Zoe Lobby

We found a great place for dinner --and had many bottles of wine and a beautiful view of the Blue Mosque. Welcome to Turkey!
