The day has finally come. I think this is one of few times where I planned far in advance for a vacation. Our family is getting together to celebrate my parents' 40th wedding anniversary. I am flying from Shanghai and we are all meeting up in Istanbul. I have a direct flight where as the rest of the family have double connections in Chicago, Philly …
Arrived dark and early
The flight from Shanghai was suppose to be 12 hours. We arrived 1.5 hours early at 4:20AM. I wish all my Beijing and Shanghai flights are like this. It was a great overnight flight after we took off on time at 10:45PM, a meal was served and then it was sleep time. I was in business class and it was a complete flat bed. I slept a 7 or 8 hours and …
Hotel -> Customer Sute-> Hotel
Once landed in Turkey, my co-worker and I walked out the airport and waited for our shuttle at the stop. Only then we realized the sign shown no shuttle available from 11 till 2. Strangely the gentlemen I spoke over the phone prior stepping out of the airport failed to mention that. Just told me to wait at the stop and a car will pick us up.

Stay in Istanbul
My first trip, for my new job, was to Antalya Turkey. This was my training trip, and Chris was my 'mentor'. We left for London on Saturday night, February 24th, 2007. First class on a 777, my first 777 ride. I slept most of the way. In London, the security was extremely tight. They had just preempted the terrorist strike with liquids some months …

TravelPod Member ReviewsRenaissance Polat Istanbul Hotel
(Note - this was a July 2010 experience) We booked this hotel primarily because it was a Marriott property (using free points) and because it was handy to the airport. While expecting (and experiencing) normal Marriott-level quality, we were not expecting anything exceptional. We were very pleasantly surprised - the airport shuttle delivered us (free) to the hotel, all employees were very friendly and helpful, and we were lucky enough to sit on a second-story veranda at dinner, overlooking a traditional Turkish Wedding rehearsal party poolside. The rooms were very nice; highly recommended for a nice respite near the airport (While the hotel is great, we did not use this as a touring base, as it is not handy to the city)
