Işıl — Mui’s sister — has a beach house in Güvercinlik, a village near Bodrum … in Turkey’s Muğla Province. Mui and I will be taking a bus from İzmir to spend a few days with her thereЧитать далее

The good news? If you are fully-vaccinated, Turkey no longer requires PCR testing 72-hours ahead of entry into the country. That’s a huge relief.
As for re-entry into the US in January … goodЧитать далее

Mui got a text from Turkish Airlines last night. It was advising us of a schedule change to the domestic portion of our 2 January flights from İzmir to Houston. Same flight number, but an earlierЧитать далее
Путешественник Looks like you'll have plenty of room for this long flight! Do you have to have a Covid test before you embark? Thanks for sharing your adventures!
Two to Travel Yeah ... we were lucky to be able to take advantage of a 40% off business fares promo earlier this year. It's good to have lie-flat seats for an 11-hour flight that departs around 9:00p. Turkey has removed the testing requirement for those who are fully vaccinated. Unless things change, however, we will have to test before we return to the US in January.
Путешественник ok. I have to say...bucket list for me is a long flight business class lie flat seat to somewhere amazing, but I'll bet anything Mo would never go for it. Even if I offered to pay for both tickets. maybe at least once before I kick the bucket and leave the planet . Maybe to the South Pacific...that R island you visited that was my favorite.
Two to Travel Beware ... not unlike getting a veranda on a cruise ship, once you fly BizClass it's hard to go back ... especially for long flights. This one was an amazing enough deal that we opted to buy the seats from THY. Normally, we use United Miles to buy or upgrade to BizClass ... thanks to our Chase cards that are co-branded with United we add miles regularly to our UA Mileage+ accts.
Two to Travel Even if it isn't UA co-branded, I was just reading that if you purchase travel through the Chase portal, you get some good travel options at discounted points.

Apparently, Mui and I have both been thinking about a “what if.” And not saying anything to each other. The “what if” was … what if our flight from COS to IAH on 6 September is delayed orЧитать далее
Путешественник Sounds like you and Mui are what my DH and I like to call "bonded." I can't count the number of times we've both been thinking the same thing until one of us blurts it out. I'm glad the switch was so easy and relieves so much stress! Traveling with Covid is more bumpy than usual. We're counting down the last 21 days until we board the Norwegian Encore in Seattle with our party of 8. Lots of moving pieces. I don't think I'll relax until I'm in our stateroom!
Two to Travel I guess being married for 40 years one can’t help but become “bonded” ... I like that thought. We are so ready to be on a ship, but don’t have an opportunity to do a cruise until next February. Fingers crossed for smooth sailing and I will look forward to your posts to cruise vicariously.

We turned off the water, checked the doors and windows, set the alarm, and locked up. Time to get this show on the road.
A quick Lyft drive brought us to COS. Our local airport might be small, but itЧитать далее
Two to Travel Yup … we opted for Houston because we were going to drive the RV down, but then … well, plans changed.
Safe and happy travels, Erin! I look forward to following your adventures :) [Mary O. Greenberg]

The CR-J 200 that will be taking us to IAH has landed and is approaching Gate 5. We should be boarding in the next little while … later than the original 11:18a boarding. No matter … it’s notЧитать далее
