Istanbul .. Day 1 .. April 3, 2013

We made it. Luggage made it. Long flights, long layovers, longing for the rain to stop. But here we are, despite an upset stomach coming from Paris. So instead of intensely negotiating a 90-minute rush-hour taxi ride to our perhaps disappointing apartment, we just as intensely negotiated a hotel near the airport and a taxi there. Breakfast here in the morning will be our first non-airline food since home 42 hours ago, and it can't come soon enough. Except it isn't coming soon .. this jet-lagged night drags on endlessly .. we’re waking every few minutes. For sure we’ll also book an airport hotel for April 29 because our return flight April 30 is at 6:15 am. This kind of travel is not for the faint of heart.
