This two-week tour of Turkey was managed by Go Ahead Vacations, a Boston-based tour company. Susan and I had traveled using their services once before, to Italy in 2006. We decided that for a country like Turkey, with which we were completely unfamiliar, that going with an organized tour was the best way to see the most sights in a short time without having to worry about managing any of the details ourselves. . .
This blog was written in September, 2009, following my first and (up till now) only trip to Iceland.
We flew overnight via Iceland Air, leaving Minneapolis in the early evening, and arriving in the early morning after a six-hour flight. We rented a car for our island travels (which was very expensive--$560 for four days in a Subaru station wagon).
This essay was written in March 2008, with reflections on visiting Detroit and living in Reno, Nevada. Some images are included.
