...we haven't even left yet...


Wow, I feel like it's the Oregon Trail, we already lost one. Yup, Nina's out. Luckily there was no bout with malaria or drowning in the river or anything, just good old fashioned real world smacking you in the face. Let's just say life of a starving artist may afford you a lot of time, but not the means to do anything with it.

So my dad and I are off on our own. First thing on the to do list: I hear the Turkish baths in Istanbul are pretty dandy. I'm thinking a post-flight scrub down will be just the ticket.
