My bags are packed, my sub plans are done and photocopies, and after a quick stop at CVS for contact lens solution and another travel toothpaste, I will be completely ready!
Istanbul- everyone wants to know why I want to go there, and I don't really have a short answer. It's an incredibly historic city, one that has migrated through several different empires and religions in its long life. It's changed names, governments, and is the only city in the world that spans two continents. It's a cosmopolitan city in a Muslim country, and known for its food as well as its sites.
So, I go, to adventure and explore. It's supposed to be warmer than expected but raining on a few days, so the umbrella and raincoat are packed along with the sandals and sweaters. All in all, I'm looking forward to the long plane ride as a chance to read, and the excitement that comes at the other end.
