Terrific Turkey!!

Terrific Turkey!!

Terrific Turkey!!

Colorful... crazy ... stunning ... and loaded with history!

My trip started in Instanbul. The Old City is vibrant with narrow cobbled streets, insane traffic, and stunning historical sites not to be missed! Lines are long so prebooking experiences is a must - I have some tricks here of when to see these items.

Next, we went to Pamukkale natural thermal pools ... so much vaster than expected! Then on to Laodika historical site WOW! Onward to Bodrum. I fell in love with this incredible coastal town with the waterfront lined with incredible seafood restaurants with a view to die for!

Of course, Ephesus is a must if you are visiting Turkey ... This Greco-Roman ancient site is so impressive, especially the magnificent library!

From there, we embarked on a week long bike and boat trip on a traditional Gulette. Cycling involved hills and more hills, so I am glad we opted for an e-bike!! The scenery and quaint local villages were spectacular! The food and wine even better!

There is so much more to see and enjoy in Turkey! I will be back :)

Awesome Work Trip
I had a work trip to Italy that involved a lot of moving parts and logistics! Sue not only got me to all my site visits with smooth logistical planning (car hire, trains, planes, and transfers), but found perfectly located accommodation, and made sure I managed to see the top sights in the Italian destinations I was near. The itinerary she presented me with was very detailed including dates, times, maps and local information. Highlights were a road trip on Sicily, climbing the Duomo Dome in Florence, and a relaxing finale in Venice with excursions that covered the top sights. Thank you for a well planned trip!<br/>

Best Bachelorette Trip!
Sue was amazing! I wanted to be as easy as possible for my Maid of Honor to get all my girls together for my Bach. Sue was on it from booking everything to getting payments and information needed. Never having to worry because if there were any issues she would notify us immediately. We were all just able to go enjoy ourselves because of Sue.
