STILL in the US... Our flight to Turkey has been cancelled four times so far! After the first cancellation I decided to work a bit longer so that I could get both doses of the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine before leaving. We are still not sure when Michael will be able to be vaccinated but our hope is to have him vaccinated when we return (provided we actually leave)!. After the second, third and fourth cancellation we decided that we needed to find a direct flight from the US to Turkey, as it was often the last leg from somewhere in Europe to Turkey that was cancelled. We managed to book a flight direct from Chicago to Istanbul BUT we have to drive to Chicago to catch the flight. That is about a 6 hour drive. And to make it even more complicated Turkey now requires a negative PCR Covid test 72 hours before your flight. That means we have to test tomorrow - January 10th and pray that we get the results back the morning of January 12th. We then have to drive to Chicago to catch our 2130 flight. Fingers crossed :).
The good news is that the latest flight (so far) has not cancelled!!! There is hope. The timing on the test results is dependent on the number of people being tested. As of yet we are not seeing the Christmas/New Years surge of Covid cases so maybe we will be lucky and there won't be many testing tomorrow. Again - fingers crossed.  |
