Day 1 – Leaving Toronto

There isn’t much to report today, as our flight is leaving rather late. After being dropped off at Pearson Airport, we checked in with Turkish Airlines, who will be operating most of our flights on this trip.

We ate dinner at the Air Canada lounge, and shortly after 9 PM, we made our way down to the gate.

Here is Nadine getting organized for the flight.

We were offered a choice of refreshing welcome drinks soon after we were seated.

I was impressed with the quality of food on Turkish Airlines, who had a chef on board to prepare the meals for our cabin. From the appetizers to the dessert we were well fed. I apologize for the redness in the photo below. The lighting at dinner made for some odd photographic results.

After dinner, we made up our beds and got ready to sleep. It’s never easy sleeping on airplanes, as no matter how nice the seat, it’s not quite like sleeping at home!
