That’s A Compact?!?

Time for another overseas trip!

This year’s annual trip to Türkiye to visit family starts today with a flight to Toronto (YYZ), where we will stay overnight before the long haul to Türkiye tomorrow night.

Why are we flying through YYZ? Because this Turkish Airlines (THY) gateway has the best prices. Since we can’t fly nonstop from Denver (DEN) to İstanbul (IST) — at least not yet — we might as well take the most wallet-friendly option. Besides, laying over at YYZ will give us a chance to spend time with a couple of friends. That’s a bonus.

Believe it our not, this Toyota Tundra is what we got for the drive up to DEN this morning. It’s definitely not the “compact” we booked through Avis, but it will get the job done.

P.S. By the way, the plan for this trip is to use FindPenguins as the app designers intended. Short snippets as warranted instead of one long story each day. Not sure what will happen after we get to Türkiye since a family visit doesn’t always yield footprint-worthy activities. Until then … well, the stories will just have to unfold.Leer más
