A traveller's reflection: Caucasus 2018: 01 KL

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…

Caucasus 2018: 01 KL - Istanbul, Turkey

“We learn something from everyone who passes through our lives. Some lessons are painful, some are painless. But, all are priceless…”

Day 01: 15 April 2018 (Sunday)

Route: KL – Istanbul

Hotel: Ekinci Residence Istanbul, Turkey

Our QR0845 0900/1220 flight was delayed for an hour in KLIA due to congestion. In Doha Hamad International Airport, we had to rush through security checks to board our connecting flight QR025 1340/1820 to Istanbul.

Our group arrived at Kamal Ataturk International Airport in Istanbul on time. There was a problem with hubby’s passport and it took a long time to clear. A van transferred us to Ekinci Residence somewhere near Sabiha Gocken Airport. We had kebab dinner at a nearby Mis Adana Kebab Restaurant before we checked-in.

Tonight we met Mr Hazimin, our supposed guide for this Caucasus trip.
