Mom and I are getting ready for our trip. We’ve had lots of recommendations from friends on what to see and do while we’re there.  This weekend is filled with laundry and packing so everything is all set. We fly out next Saturday and arrive in Istanbul on the 23rd around 10:00am. With a 7 hour timezone change, I assume our first few days we’ll be getting accustomed to the time.  Can’t wait!!!
