skyringIn brief. We got our car to Istanbul airport in good time after exploring the Topkapi Palace. Interesting to see Abraham's saucepan and Moses's staff. Impressed by the decorations.
Long queue for security, short queue for our Heathrow flight. Errr. No flight.
"Eruption in Iceland," the clerk said, showing us a printed bulletin.
"Don't do it again!" I wagged my finger at him, making him personally responsible for eruptions. He smiled.
Ticket office found - after a short but extremely worrying wait - a direct flight to Amsterdam on Turkish Airlines, so we arrived three hours earlier and had better food.
Shuttle to our hotel which had our booked room available, met up with Mojosmom for dinner, and postprandials with Crrcookie and Melydia before we started falling asleep.
Today is a quick flip through the galleries, followed by the convention meet'n'greet, where I fear some longed-for faces may not be visible.

Date: 2010-04-16 07:44 am (UTC)This will be one Convention where toasts to absent friends will be agonisingly heartfelt.
I've been reading the Convention thread and recognizing so many names who should be there and likely won't.
Puts even more responsibility on you for in-depth reporting and I just know how well you'll shoulder that responsibility, you and your flying fingers.
