My Travel Journal

"There isn't much I haven't shared with you along the road and through it all there'd always be tomorrow's episode" - Elton John

I started traveling around the world since early 80s when I had the opportunity to combine business trips with vacations. Then later when my rezeki is in abundance, there were numerous other trips along the way for vacations, most of the time with hubby and the kids when the timing is right. I have also started to compile the journal and photo-pages covering almost more than 45 years of world wide travel. Some destinations I visited just once, others many times. Many of those places are the obvious famous places people would like to visit but some, the casual traveler doesn't even think to try. I have placed links to my travel at the side bar of my personal page, My Life Reflections, and will be updating them from time to time.

My wish is to continue my travel and complete circumnavigate the globe, insyaAllah…

Day 15: 29 April 2018 (Sunday)
Route: Baku/ Istanbul
Hotel: Tokapi Inter Hotel Istanbul, Turkey

It was free and easy activity in the morning. We had lunch at the nearby Royal Hamam Restaurant and rested in the room until we checked out around 3.30 pm. The van came and fetched us around 4.00 pm for airport transfer to Heydar Aliyev International Airport.

The J2077 1915/2120 Buta Airlines flight to Istanbul was on time. When we arrived in Kamal Ataturk International Airport Istanbul there was a problem again with hubby's passport.

The van took us to a Doner Kebab Restaurant for a late dinner before we checked in the Tokapi Inter Hotel Istanbul.
