Merhaba, Catholic Pilgrims! That's how Turkish people say, "Hello." In this episode, I share with you my flight journey from St. Louis to Izmir. King COVID threw some snags in the way and I tried to keep my cool while dealing with paperwork, a lack of g-free meals for my daughter and me, and trying to get my cats from point A to point B. Towards the end, I give a brief history lesson on Izmir which was once known as Smyrna in ancient times.
