A grand adventure in this classic city, including a blizzard, canceled flights, multiple crossings between Asia and Europe and my first visit to a Turkish bath.

Walking off the plane yesterday in Paris I realized my wallet was no longer in my pocket where it belonged. That’s all sorts of bad for starting a 5 day international trip. Except maybe not really.
Snowed in (or a BA snow job) in Istanbul
Howling winds, blizzard conditions and terrible customer service. Just another relaxing trip to Istanbul, right? The story ends well enough, but British Airways has some serious customer service issues.
