The wife (carrying unborn Mia), daughters, 6 passports, 4 currencies, one suitcase, three backpacks, and I are headed to Istanbul. Our four star hotel, which I found quickly on Expedia and which was on sale, has a terrace that overlooks this mosque and where breakfast is served.
I had an incredibly productive week last week and have a good idea what I need when I come back. My eating feels under control and I think I will be able to come away from this trip with minimal (less than 500gram gain?) damage. I'm actually, honestly really looking forward to going.
We have wifi in the room and I will have my EEEPC and iPod, so expect late night posts while the children and wife sleep.
