Istanbul – Day 1

We arrived safe and sound. The Hotel is beautiful.

The flight from NY to Turkey was difficult. A passenger got sick about half way across the Atlantic. We had to turn around and land in St John’s Newfoundland. Without being allowed to exit the plane, this added almost five hours to our flight because:

  • 90 minutes to turn around and land
  • 90 minutes to refuel, submit a new flight plan, get the passenger’s luggage out
  • * 90 minutes to get back on track

Once at the hotel, we took a quick nap and went to dinner with Sogeti. That was awesome. The three course meal with salmon, lamb and a great desert.
