There and Not Quite Back Again

So Hello... This blog is made to document my trip to Turkey I will leave on the 8th of July 2009 and return to Toronto on the 4th of September 2009. I will not have access to the internet continueslly thoughout my trip but Iw ill update this as often as I can.
I leave for Ankara Turkey tomorrow at 1:05 PM and fly for twenty-one hours (including the layover in Frankfurt) thus I will arrive at 3:00 AM Turkish time. As I arrive two days before most of the students do I will be arriving shortly before John Haldon (An Archaeology prof. from Princeton) so I will wait for two more hours at the airport and meet him then head to the British Institute at Ankara's Hostel a short distance away and stay there for two nights.
So... yeah hanging out with a Princeton Professor who is the head of the project I am working on will be nerve wracking to say the least. And the absurdly long flight will not help my already inept social skills.
For the flight I got a book of Zombie short stories with one written by Neil Gaimen!
