Crossing Over

6 September, 2011 One minute I see that the plane icon is over Nova Scotia, the next minute it's over Europe. What that means is that I scored some much needed sleep on this long journey over! I do enjoy flight tracking on the individual seat monitors onboard. As I write, we are approximately an hour from landing in Istanbul -  just crossed over the Danube River, according to the monitor. Once we arrive in Turkey, we will have spanned our 10 time zones. Almost time to head south to Africa! We were immediately spoiled upon boarding the aircraft and treated to a glass of champagne and a piece of chocolate! Our friends on Turkish Airlines were delightful. I can't help writing "Turkish" and some form of the word "delight" in the same sentence! I wonder if they sell this confection at the Istanbul airport. We are soon to find out!
