We finally made it out of the house and Seattle on 3/24/10. It was a marathon run packing up all of our belongings and getting the house ready for our new tenants. We also said goodbye to Sunny the week before and the house seemed so empty without him. But after many farewells we got on our plane and now find ourselves in Instanbul. We splurged on a nicer hotel than usual, since this is technically our honeymoon(!), and have an amazing view of Hagia Sofia right across the street. Unfortunately, we are so beat that we are hanging out in our room and resting up (after the 21 hour door to door trip) to continue our exploring of this city tomorrow. We look forward to hearing the calls to prayer, eating kebabs, boat rides on the Bosphorus, feeling really out of style amongst the Euro hipsters and paying through the nose for an afternoon cocktail!
