I decided to research travel information for Istanbul, Turkey, because I wanted to learn more. I learned that there are thousands of places to see such a scenic historical and archaeological places as well. Next, I went to look up transportation and hotels in the area.

I also searched for my favorite Marriott hotel, the Ritz Carlton I Book Club Park Room for myself with a city view for the price of $385 per night. The flight was approximately 12 hours long, and I slept most of that time. I finally arrive in beautiful turkey, and I can't wait to get out of the airport so I can see the city. The airport is located 24 kilometers 15 miles west of Istanbul City Centre. I arrive at the hotel and I'm in shock. It's absolutely stunning. The hotel decorum is astonishing. I check into my room and put my stuff down and go look at the view from my window. I immediately start planning all the places I would like to visit in such a short period.
