A traveller's reflection: 2016 Aegean Sea Trip: 01 Istanbul, Turkey

My Travel Journal

"There isn't much I haven't shared with you along the road and through it all there'd always be tomorrow's episode" - Elton John

I started traveling around the world since early 80s when I had the opportunity to combine business trips with vacations. Then later when my rezeki is in abundance, there were numerous other trips along the way for vacations, most of the time with hubby and the kids when the timing is right. I have also started to compile the journal and photo-pages covering almost more than 45 years of world wide travel. Some destinations I visited just once, others many times. Many of those places are the obvious famous places people would like to visit but some, the casual traveler doesn't even think to try. I have placed links to my travel at the side bar of my personal page, My Life Reflections, and will be updating them from time to time.

My wish is to continue my travel and complete circumnavigate the globe, insyaAllah…

KL - Istanbul

The POTO group of 21 persons gathered in KLIA to check-in and board the 10:10 pm TK 61 flight to Istanbul.

We safely landed at Istanbul Atartuk International Airport around 4:00 am. After performing our prayers we boarded the 7:00 am domestic flight TK2310 to Izmir. In Izmir we were met by Mr. Gokhan, our tour guide for Turkey. In Izmir we had a tour of the city by bus and stopped at Konak Square to visit the attractions around the area.
