MERHABA!!! We have made it to Turkey safely after a very long journey. We are both exhausted, as we chose not to sleep on the nine hour flight from Chicago to London. We then got stuck on the plane from London to Istanbul before we took off because they were looking for one missing bag. So, two hours+ late to the Istanbul airport, we get all our stuff done there, find our driver in the sea of names on paper and make it to our "accommodations".

The drive, though a little nerve racking, to the place where we are staying was awesome! I have pictures and much, much more to share... but to be honest, I am tired.

I just wanted to let you know we got here safely! We are getting picked up in the morning to go over to the school, so I will have updates with all the details as soon as I can!

Keep checkin... because there is lots and lots here to talk about!
