I will be spending the next week traveling around Turkey on vacation, and then working in Istanbul the following week. Hopefully I'll be able to blog - I'd say that I don't write about 75% of my travels because I just don't have the time.
The trip starts off at the Renaissance Polat Hotel with a beautiful view of the Sea of Marmara and Istanbul in the distance.
It's been over 5 years since I was last in Istanbul and there's not much I remember beyond the "Big 3" tourist sites - Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, and Topkapi Palace.
I did make a great friend in that long weekend escape from Bulgaria in Feb 2006 and it will be cool to meet up again for the first time in 5 years...
Still a bit cold here, but the view from my window on the 21st floor is quite impressive.
