Thank you everyone...

Lol...hunny...is honey...but seems people like to spell it as hunny in chat and on im. It is a "term of endearment" like  sweetie, baby, boo, snookums...okay kinda "sappy" but we say it to the ones we love )or like a lot)

Thanks

Hunny...I need you to meet me at the Zeytinburnu station which will be my sixth stop. I should be there no later than 3:30pm. We can travel together to my accomodations. I will put away my things and we will see everthing for that day.

Thanks Reyhan...

Your suggestion lead me to research the Metro...

and I believe that is what I shall do.

I will take the metro from Ataturk...Then get off at ZEYTINBURNU...and then take tram for KABATAS to Gulhane...which is in the general vicinity of my accomodations. Thanks to all and wish me luck...

Yes Deli. I will heed your instruction, sis.

I have not forgotten that terrible experience and although it was horrible, it is a testament to a woman´s inner strenghth.

I am hoping not to take a taxi for fear they may charge too much money.

Thanks everyone

Okay...This is a phone call I will be making for my upcoming stay in beautiful Istanbul:

"Hello. I need to know how I may arrange shuttle service from the airport to your hotel please"

Thanks Turkish speakers!

Thank you Angel-frier.. Very nice of you

Thanks in advance folks

This is for my man Hakan (love you hunny)

Help me translate this for my hunny please:

I want to see Topkapi with you.

Do you think it will be possible?

I know there is not much to see in two days.

But it will be so much if just to see it with you

Again.. Please do not blame my President Barack Obama for the policies set forth by GEORGE W BUSH and DICK CHENEY. They were in power for EIGHT YEARS. How can my extremely liberal President undo what THEY did this quickly?

But your sentiments are shared also by the racist southerners of America. I wonder are your reasons for ridiculing my President the same as theirs?
