WELCOME

This Scrapbook of our May 2022 Rick Steves Best of Turkey Tour is not meant to be an all-inclusive travelogue of our trip.  Other scrapbookers have more than adequately documented their tours, and ours was similar.  The itinerary is included, and it is easy to find photos of each place visited that are better than anything I could do.  Remember the Gettysburg Address?  Remember the other speaker that day who orated for nearly 2 hours?  Me neither.  This site will NOT make you text "TLDR"!  

My goals are to

• succinctly explain my unexpected profound  growth as a traveler that resulted from this trip

• offer advice to travelers like myself who normally don't consider going on bus (or "coach") group tours

• offer a well-deserved "kudos" to the Rick Steves company, and

• enter, and hopefully win the 2022 Scrapbook contest!
