Let the countdown begin!

I know, I know, it feels, to me, my trip to Turkey is a lifetime away, but in reality it is only 113 days from today when I will be taking off into the wild blue yonder bound for Istanbul!

Yes I counted the exact number of days...pathetic? Maybe, but it keeps up my spirits to be thinking about September 22nd and boarding that plane.

I've already read all the chapters in my Fodor's Turkey guidebook pertaining to the destinations I will visit in Turkey and yes, I used my trusty hi-lighter pen and "sticky' flag page markers indicating sights, restaurants, and shopping experiences I don't want to miss! Now I just have to wait for the Rick Steves Istanbul guidebook and I will be set with reading/research material!

Of course there is still my internet "trolling" for recommendations on things to see and do. And once I have enough of that information I will put together my own version of a guidebook to take with me. Mostly it will have personal recommendations I found on the travel websites.

I am now officially proclaiming the countdown to my Turkey trip is underway!
