 2: 00AM wake up call
 2:30AM  bags
 3: 00AM airport departure
 5: 45AM  flight to Istanbul (6 hours with 3 time zone changes)
Laury stayed with friends in Istanbul
Deborah was home
Susan, Ellie, Barbara and Vivian went to the Hotel Ayasofia for 3 nights before going home

Meli also went to the Hotel Ayasofia since she had a mini city tour in a few days.

And so the end of a informative, thought provoking and fascinating tour of places that we had little if any knowledge. Meli and her local guides did an awesome job of guiding us through the maze of cultural, historical and social mores.
