Agenda

Hello everyone!

We'll be leaving soon, so I thought I'd put up a rough idea of where we're going.

Our flight leaves this Saturday, and we'll fly up to DC for our long-haul flight to Munich (9 hours!!! Anybody have tips as to how to stand that long of a flight?) and lastly from Munich to Istanbul. We'll probably have at least one jetlag recuperation day, and then get about touring this incredible city.

While in Istanbul, we'll see the:
-Hagia Sophia
-Blue Mosque
-Grand Bazaar
-Dolmabahce Palace (Pronunciation?)
and several other places.

Next Stop: Troy
- Special tour as our tour guides have excavated there.
- Site of Assos

On to Pergamon, Sardis and Ephesus:
- Home to one of the standing wonders of the ancient world (Temple of Artemis)
- Temple of Apollo at Didyma
- Massive & intact ancient stadium/outdoor theater (Greek?)

Miletus, Priene, Aphrodisias, Aspendos and Perga

- Cliffside Acropolis
- Tetrapylon
- Completely intact and usable Roman Theater(even the sound & light system! just kidding)

And so much more! Check in every few days from May 8-18th and read what's happening. I hope my writing isn't excessively exuberant.
