Made it to Istanbul last night after 1.5 days of traveling. Lufthsana's new Business Class is great with lay flat seats...made the 9 hour trip from Denver to Frankfurt much easier. After 3 hour layover, our plane to Istanbul was delayed for (1) taking baggage off of passengers who hadn't boarded after checking in and (2) waiting for a part for a plane that was broken in Istanbul. We arrived about 7:00pm and then were transferred to Cirigan Palace.
Hotel is very beautiful and we have room overlooking the Bosphorus. Woke up just to see the back of a big white ship go by but do not think it was the Voyager as there as several in port at the same time.

Off to site see today. Board the ship tomorrow.
