I’m a bit delayed in posting our stats on our Turkey visit, but the original plan was to return to Istanbul mid June, then travel to several other places around the country, THEN post the cumulative travel on all our Turkey adventures. BUT, it was not meant to be.

Today, I ended up canceling the rest of our travel schedule, through September 1st. We had a very exciting itinerary lined up, when we left Istanbul on March 12th. Greece was only to be our 1st stop in the EU, out of 12 countries.

Now, we will fondly look back on these days and say… “Honey, remember that time we flew to Greece for eight days, and ended up staying for five months?”

Anyway, back to Istanbul, Turkey 🇹🇷…we left luggage in storage there, so we will return to Istanbul to pick that up; just not sure not sure when, as that will require open borders.
