Turkey? (part II)

We're no longer porting in Turkey. 

Tomorrow we're at sea, then 3 days in Alexandria, Egypt. As cool as Egypt is going to be, there were so many things I was looking forward to in Turkey! Oh well. At least we're not going to Bulgaria (which was the circulating rumor). 

Turkey?

After the shooting outside the US consulate a few weeks ago and the terrorist bombing last night that killed 15 people and wounded 150 more - the dean just announced that we may not go to Istanbul. Where we would go instead is not yet known. The official announcement is they are monitoring the situation, but it seems like they're just trying to figure out where else we could go. (I'm voting Morocco!) I was super excited about Turkey, but I can understand not wanting to let 600 American students out to wander with that going on..... I'll let you know updates when I know more!
