The journey begins -- Ottawa to Istanbul

Istanbul, Turkey (from Wikipedia

At the Air Canada Maple Leaf Lounge in Ottawa, waiting for the first flight -- a short haul to Toronto.  Then, there is a quick connection to Frankfurt, Germany and on to Istanbul, Turkey.

Travel is both enlightening and challenging; heading half-way around the world, staying briefly in three very different nations in a two-week voyage is the sort of experience that creates and brings back memories.

When the plane lands in Istanbul, I'll look out the window as we drive into town to the hotel where we are staying.  Mixed with the skyline will be the construction cranes; the question is, how will my days in Turkey influence my thinking about construction marketing.
