Hello All. With that kind of weather, and more freezing, snow and maybe rain, in the weeks ahead, it is time to find another climate. I will be departing here late this evening and going out to the airport; I depart at seven in the morning for Vancouver. Travelling is becoming quite complicated to what is was nine years ago when I started this blog. For this trip, in addition to the ticket and my Passport, I now need..my QR code for Ontario/Canada certifying I have had both Covid-19 vaccinations and now the Booster shot. All were with the Pfizer vaccine; I also have my Turkish Visa, which is authority to enter Turkey, and, the Turkish HES code, which is similar to our QR code. At this time, no need to have any tests. I made the day for the Nurse that gave me the booster shot on Saturday; As I went to her table and sat down, she asked me..."Sir, which arm would you like to receive this vaccine",...my reply..."Your right arm would be just fine"!. She had not heard that before. As an after thought, it probably is not wise to get the person with the needle excited before they do their work.
I am all packed and ready to depart, with one exception...A five year old special friend of mine in Istanbul sent me a message last week that requested some Tim Bits, (which is the holes from donuts at one of our coffee houses here.). I have them in the freezer, and will pack them just before I go out the door.
I may do a short update tomorrow from Vancouver airport. That will depend on the internet, and other issues. If not from Vancouver, I will report after my arrival in Turkey. Take Care;
