Airports arent as cool after being there for 6 hours.

I'm in TURKEY!!

After 31 hours of traveling and sitting in airports I finally arrived to Ege waiting for me in the airport! Which I was scared about in the first place because I honestly didn't think that she would show up and then I would be stuck in the airport all alone and crying. Haha. But that didn't happen!

Some notable things during my travel....

Right after sadly saying my goodbyes to Jim and Suz, I started walking towards my gate in Charlotte only to hear some one saying "diarrhea! diarrhea!" Yep. What a great welcoming. A little girl was yelling it, to the dismay of her parents and her older sister, who was trying to hush her by putting her hand over her mouth. It was actually really funny.

I flew from Charlotte to Philedalphia and then from Philly to Madrid. I sat next to an older woman with arthritis and diabetes (she told me) requiring her to get up and walk around the plane a lot. She loves plane pillows (she had at least 3) and plane blankets. But when I was kind of cold she was very sweet and motherly and asked the airline attendent for an extra blanket for me and socks. Yes blanket, no socks. But it's okay, I survived. She was on her way to see her daughter who lives in Spain, and they are actually going to take a weeklong trip to Turkey too! So we had a lot to discuss. Did I mention she only spoke Spanish? Yep. So that was just a little taste of what is to come....and it wasn't as good as I had hoped, but we'll see....Also, she sang out lout while listening to her iPod and elbowed me everytime the couple in front of us kissed (which was frequent). Oh, she was a lovely traveling buddy. We even exchanged emails! :)

In Frankfurt I made a little friend too, a boy who would come up to me and set his teddy bear down in the seat next to me where at the gate. It was ADORABLE. Im not sure what language he was speaking though...but very cute!

Ill write more about Turkey itself soon! love/miss you all!!
