Merhaba from Turkey

Hello from Turkey!

So after 1 cancelled flight, not having a seat on our flight to Istanbul from Chicago, somehow getting a seat, sprinting to the plane, making it on just before the doors closed only to find that someone else had my seat, and finally getting a seat next to a man that smelled like some sort of Turkish patchoulli for 10 hours...I'm done with the first leg of my trip. I'm also pretty sure the only reason i got a seat in the first place was because a cute old lady in a wheelchair showed up extremely late...oh well, ya snooze ya loose, right? Just one 8 hour layover left, and I'll be off to Georgia! Right now I'm sitting on a couch, drinking Turkish coffee and a rather large beer while staring at the oh-so-unique duty free shop.  Guess what? It's exactly the same as every other duty free shop in the world! Who knew?!  Anyhow, I just wanted to check in, say hello, and let everyone know that no, the tsunami in japan did not affect anything in here in Europe, and the conflict in Libya hasn't spread here either...yet
