You are the best! Thanks so much. Tomorrow night. Woo hoo. 45 days out. How bad will it be? 🙂

Did you call them? Are they open for calls on weekends?

I occasionally have these online dates and times and particulars for land places so would appreciate some Is and Ts to dot and cross. 1. Gratefully we live on the Left Coast so the race begins at 9PM right? Can I be signed on before that time, even a few minutes? 2. What will I see and what will I do 🙂 Do I pick a restaurant and will it show me all the times on a particular date that have available times. For instance I pick the 12th of July, will I see everything available for that date? And if there's nothing available for that date, do I keep picking dates or will the site "help" me? (I don't suppose anybody took a photo that you could share?) Sorry to sound like such a doob but I'm drawing a blank. It's been a few years and trips elsewhere. I really appreciate any help. Thanks, kiddos.

And a little can be better than a lot 🙂

I was given that advice recently and since I consider Google my best friend that's certainly what I'll do. As a matter of fact I just thought of a question 🙂

I don't know this but I'm guessing, like many other non-US airlines, that they're supported by their governments. But I'm still glad they're a Star Alliance partner 🙂

Sorry. From what you wrote it didn't seem like you'd been to that terminal/lounge.

The Simply More wine list AFAIK is identical on all the ships. That's for lunch and dinner. Not outside the dining areas and not hard liquor. ...... I know I've seen a list online but can't find it now of course. It's quite extensive. Hopefully someone else will post it.

I love that!!!!!! And some of our "stuff" might one day become "junk" that we get rid of.

Here's The Points Guy's review of the lounge. https://thepointsguy.com/reviews/turkish-airlines-business-lounge-istanbul/

Operative words "short report."

We haven't been to Istanbul since the new terminal but before - and I'm betting now - Turkish Airways had an INCREDIBLE business lounge.

And one can walk out at baggage claim and there's a taxi stand (or some equivalent), right?

Oh, that's just an attention getter 🙂 These were country rats that get into farmers rice field where of course the farmers don't want them eating their crop. So they catch/kill them, grill them on the side of the road and sell them. They had been seriously over cooked and were tough and tasteless. But still 🙂

Did I mention that we've drunk tap water almost all over the world, eat chicken from street food vendors, had some fried rat in Thailand?!?!?! LOL

What do you do with the old ones?

Did you see my #20? I've also read tons of things that say "your kids don't want your stuff, get rid of it."

Thanks for this. We are die-hard United passengers and their alliance partners. And since we ALWAYS return from a different city than we arrived in the round trip thing isn't an issue. PS: Have you been to the Polaris lounge in EWR? Incredible!

That's what I understand also.

I'm not going to try to speak for others but I really AM into food, at home cooking and eating out when traveling. I'll do research all over the world. So when I read others 'reviews' or comments I don't read just one. Unless I happen to know that person's taste is similar to mine. Or not 🙂 Just my never humble opinion 🙂

But I'm in my 70s and there is little that I have a "use" for. We're even getting rid of 'stuff.' Can you give an example and maybe I'll say "oh, right :)"

Are they skirt length or do you wear them with something else?

LOL. So you probably wouldn't want to live with us. We had our milk with breakfast out of the same mugs that we had our morning. Then our lunch in the breakfast mugs 🙂

I see. So the 100s who didn't ask didn't get their money back.

I hear you and don't dispute you but are you saying that no one should do anything?
