Meet FairyBit Kiwi!

You're all probably wondering who FairyBit Kiwi is, right? She's my magical and powerful mini flash drive. Don't believe me? Go here.

Not only does she store all of my hopes and dreams, but she will be accompanying me to Turkiye. (That's right, some people seek comfort in stuffed animals, I like to personify my thumb drives.)

She is rather small, so please don't mistake her for an exotic Turkish bug if you see her in my travel pictures. This is her first trip to Istanbul and she's a wee bit excited! She'll want to save as much information as possible!

As long as I remember to keep Kiwi out of the sunlight, avoid getting her wet, and never ever feeding her after midnight... she should be fine!

:P

Last Minute Shopping...

Turkiye is much hotter and more humid than what I'm used to in sunny, dry-heat Arizona. In case you were wondering, at the time of this post, the weather in Turkiye was 16C (that's 61F) with a humidity of 52% - yikes!

So I had to make a quick trip to the mall over the weekend to get a few summer outfits to keep me cool during my travels. Since I will be doing my own laundry while I'm there, no sense it taking too many clothes. With an exception of a few dressy ensembles, most of my clothing is hassle-free, easily washable, and 100% cotton.

I'm sure y'all wanted to know...
