I'm in Israel! (And did I mention how much I love Turkish Airlines?)

A short 2 hour flight later and we have arrived in Tel Aviv.  The security was tight getting into the gate for the Tel Aviv flight in Istanbul.  We were questioned by several people about when, what, where, why. 

Gotta love Turkish Airlines for providing us with fresh mozzarella and homemade pudding.  A happy tummy always makes or a happier Yue.

The Tel Aviv airport was spectacular - simple and elegant.  We exchanged for some Israeli Shekels and were then off to the train station to get to our hotel in North Tel Aviv.  The best part?  We were meeting up with my dad who's in town for a convention.  He's the reason why we decided to make this entire trip!

Kudos to Turkish Airlines

Less than an hour flight from Istanbul to Kayseri and they service a full on meal!  Arrived at Kayseri with a happy belly ready to explore Cappadocia (about 40 minutes away).
