a fresh start.....

This is my virgin blog, having to only be able to start after about 3 weeks.... procrastination got the better of me.... always have! Well, it all started with a panic, having to realise that i need to be at the airport on 20 Sept night to catch the red eye to Turkey... The air ticket clearly shows flight on 21 Sept 0030...and yet, i didn't realise until my hubs 'reminded' me gently the night before.... well, what will I be, without him...

And so, the whole family was also in a panic mode, thankfully I have already settled all admin and banking stuff before I take the flight... My family kissed me goodbye, I left with a heavy heart as I thought i was to have another day...well, guess not!

I checked myself in to the golden lounge and enjoyed some delicious ice-cream and a can of coke... it was cool as this is the first time I'm flying business class - NICE! I got all teary eyed when my brother sms me to not to worry, as he will take care of the family... after that sms, i left to board the flight...

It was cool, to have the peeps in the plane addressing me by my surname (though they got it wrong!)... i was fed and slept thereafter... I slept very little and being just recovered from my slipped disc, i only could sleep on my side ways... thank god I was on biz class! Woke up with more food and caught the Batman movie (heath ledger was in it) but didn't manage to finish it though...bummer! Bought some ciggies for da man but didn't manage to get his QPR jersey...too bad....

After about 8 hrs, I reached Istanbul...got a bit probe looking for the domestic flight lounge. Got into my flight (biz class, too) nevertheless... A gentleman got seated next to me, quite chatty at the beginning, but was quiet as a mouse after getting to know that I'm married! haha!
Surprise bouquet!
I had for the first time Su Boregi (yummy!) for breakfast along with olives (yucks!)... in no time, i reached Ankara... after being driven to another area to collect my luggage, i lugged all the bags and set off to get out of the airport! From a far, i saw my husband! What joy! The familiar face that I missed so much this few months.. and i even got a surprise bouquet! :)

As soon as i got back to our new home, i settled down quickly and didn't really have any jet lag... i was however, feeling tired especially in the evenings for the next few day...

Glad that I have reached Ankara, nevertheless and experiencing Turkey has begun...
