I headed out at 4:30 am for the 45+ minute ride to the Istanbul Airport. Needless to say, there was scattered darkness at that crazy hour.


The 11-hour flight was typical Turkish Air – comfortable, friendly, and good food. And I made it out of the DC airport in world record time! From the door of the plane, through immigration, customs, and onto the Hertz Shuttle in less than 10 minutes! Global Entry wins again, as well as an empty airport at Noon!

I drove my rental the 2-hours to Charlottesville where I was met by the prettiest girl in town!

Now this lucky guy is home! One more post coming to wrap up and finish off this trip.
Before you go…
If we’re not meant to have midnight snacks, why is there a light in the fridge?
