On the Ground

We left Alabama at 2:00 am, Sunday, January 27th, and we stepped in the door of our new home around 8:30 am local time, Tuesday, January 29th.  The four, yes FOUR, legs of our flight went smoothly.  We slept soundly in the airport hotel in Istanbul during our longest layover... not the cheapest option, but the shower and bed were worth every Euro cent.  (If only I would have packed deodorant.)  It took about three nights for the big boys to get over jet lag, five nights for me, and unfortunately about a week for Max.  Our internal clocks are on the new time now, and we are working on settling our hearts here.  The goodbye was hard, oh, SO HARD, but we were greeted at the airport here by familiar faces.  A gift.  Oh, and our house is in our old neighborhood.  Another gift.
