A 90 minute delay in boarding came with benefits. The fellow from Edmonton with whom I had been chatting for the last hour had an early boarding pass and invited me to tag along. Oh my, just hit me, that was a deja vu moment! The flight was smooth and we landed just over an hour late. With minutes to spare I made my Istanbul flight; my luggage did not.
The silver lining is that they will have to deliver it to my hotel later today. That means I can now ride the subway without having to lug those 42 pounds along the way!
From the Mediterranean Sea to the Pacific Ocean, this is my first "round-the-world" tour and the first time I am traveling alone. It's also the first time I am NOT the leader of the group. This will be a huge adventure for me, one that tests my patience (smile), stamina and my ability to adapt. I can't wait!
