Constantinople by Mansel is a difficult read. This might be better when I come back from the trip. I skimmed it. Anyone else flying through Chicago on May 13?

Has anyone read any of the suggested reading list. Did the book hold your attention? We are on the 9/30/13 trip.

"My Name is Red" by Orhan Pamuk is engaging, informative and entertaining. It's well worth reading, even if you are not going to Turkey.

"Bastard from Istanbul"is worth reading. The author also has a new book out "Honor." Haven't read it yet but it is also about Turkey.

Lorraine,
I think that is my flight. I don't have my ticket in front of me so I'll double check. It would be great to know someone on the flight. I will put the road scholar tag on my carry on. How about you?

Going to Turkey May 21. Is anyone taking the balloon trip? We don't want to be the only people in our group doing this.

I signed up for it right before the balloon exploded in Egypt, but still plan to do it. /Ellie

The two people who survived in Egypt jumped. Always good to have a back-up plan!

Well, we'll start practicing jumping. It will be thrilling.
