The Pieces of the Puzzle

Traveling with a group for of 26 people for almost two weeks is going to be interesting - A good size group for me. Group dynamics are very for much of this to be a success. Not that someone else has the power to control my outcome, they can affect it.  Besides the the one that shall be nameless until he swoops down at the Istanbul train station. The tour consists of  5 married couples, 2 women with the same last name - sisters or mother daughter,  9 solo women, 5 solo men (including myself) and our guide Mine Karahan.

From Ricks website Mine Karahan (do read the linked interview) is one of Turkey's best kept secrets. Bubbling over with enthusiasm and energy, she is as excited to show you Turkey as you are to see it. Mine (pron. Mee-nay) also brings a worldly perspective to her tours, as she's visited more than 60 countries on five continents. There is certainly no moss growing under Mine's feet.
