It’s finally here! The day has come! The hour is nigh! The winds are right! The voyage has begun!
That’s right! I’m off to Turkey!
Okay, technically I’m only flying as far as Montreal for this leg of the trip. But after that I’m off to… well, okay I’m flying from Montreal to Munich, so that’s closer. But after that I’m flying from Munich into Turkey! 
It will be a rather long journey. In fact, I should be arriving nearly 24 hours after I leave, when you take into consideration the time difference between Ottawa and Istanbul. I’m excited to get started though!
I’m currently taking full advantage of the free wi-fi provided by the Ottawa Airport to update my blog. I am rather worried that I forgot something that will be very important to have. Granted, I do feel this way whenever I’m going pretty much anywhere on any kind of trip and usually it ends up that I didn’t forget anything. But knowing that doesn’t really help my peace of mind. Ah well, I’ll survive. 
At this point I’d like to note just how strangely empty the terminal was when I arrived. I wish I’d taken a picture when I got to the terminal, but unfortunately I didn’t. I guess I’m not used to having a camera again, which is weird because it’s large enough you’d think I’d notice the extra weight.
Well, with that being said I’m going to go play with my new camera. Hopefully I’ll get some pictures worth showing.
TTFN!
