Blog Slacker!

I admit, I have been slacking big time on my blog entries! Probably because I haven't done much trip planning in the last few weeks.

Since purchasing the Rome tickets I don't have any major trip arrangements to make right now. I've got the "big" stuff done and the other "smaller" arrangements don't have to be done for a few months.

I still have to purchase a one way ticket from Izmir back to Istanbul in October, but I want to use one of the budget airlines and they don't have the fall schedules/airfares available yet, so I have plenty of time for that.

The Italy trip seems so far away at this point and I just have a few things to tie up for that trip, so I'm "sitting pretty" as far as trip planning is concerned.

I did check the Delta website to see if my Rome airfare had gone up and it did by about $200, so I am happy I jumped on the fare when I did...now let's hope it doesn't go down below $1000!

The next step in the planning process will be to get my hands on a few guidebooks and start reading about the places that interest me and consider definite "must see" sites for both Turkey and Rome.

Here's to smooth trip planning! :)
