Back from a Turkish Spring Break




Me with the Turkish flag.
Andrew, Pat (my Alaskan cousin) and I have spent the last two weeks in Turkey. Details will be forthcoming as I am preparing for a few social events these next two days- a talk and goodbye gathering for Jan and Ellen as they leave their winter Malta home and another talk and friends (Maltese and Iowans) coming for dinner followed by fireworks in the Grand Harbour which we will view from our galleria.

Briefly, the three of us stayed in Istanbul, Çanakkale, Selçuk, and Gűzelçamli.  Turkish Airlines has joined Hawaiian Airlines as one of my favorite airlines.  Both of our two hour flights (to and from Istanbul) included a Turkish sweet, a meal with china dishes and silverware (not plasticware) and a drink. Turkish Airlines even has special diet preferences that you can be prearrange.  Remember those days?
