feels like flying

i can't sleep. it's 8:14 am in istanbul and i am wide awake.  i was asleep a couple hours ago for probably 45 minutes. i'd fallen asleep to the sweet sounds of cliff lee and the cleveland indians beating the yankees.  and then what i am assuming was the muslim call to prayer went off at like 5 AM.  that woke me up.  this does not bode well for my day of sightseeing tomorrow.  i am quite sure that that will not happen now.  so much pressure to do so much in so little time on these tours to exotic places. 

hung out in the new terminal 5 at heathrow today for a good few hours.  i liked it.  it is the polar opposite of everything heathrow. no lines, lots of light. and the business class lounge is loaded with free food.

it might be getting time for a career change seeing that i really would just rather be in LA.

at least during baseball season.

Wasn't that game terrific! Another one today at 1:00 o'clock our time....guess that's 8:00 p.m. Istanbul time! Sure hope you get to see SOME of the exotic city. (And, conversely, they get to get a glimpse of you!) Have a great trip.

I agree with you on Terminal 5. Good duty free and a Giraffe to boot. Haven't been lucky enough to see the executive lounge though. Turkey sounds amazing. I'm jealous. Travel safe. xx

Where are you at now? I got that package, thanks. For what it is worth I am in that DVD at the end and they even thank me! Woo hoo!
