We had a 10-hour lay-over in Istanbul and chose to find a place to sleep.
Istanbul is beautiful from the air.
The round domes of mosques and tall, thin minarets are visible in the cityscape.

In-flight
Traveling from Michigan to Amsterdam to Istanbul takes about 14 hours. I saw a few signs that people are concerned about the H1N1 virus. A handful of people were wearing masks in the Detroit airport. Before the plane landed in Istanbul, we were given forms to fill out stating whether or not we have flu symptoms. After we landed and people were standing in the aisles, the flight attendant announced we couldn’t disembark until they received a form from every person – and we were missing 25 forms. Slowly, 25 more trickled up to the front of the plane.
