I know, I know, they said book early for the eclipse! I went into my Intrepid itinerary which is not even for 2026 yet and looked at the starting hotel. Then onto Booking.com. Full. Pretty much everything is full. But I found one crappy room for $266 with a shared bathroom for Aug 11. Ugg. In a panic I booked it!
Here is the Booking.com map for Aug 11: red dots mean full
Guesthouse Sunna - Fancy!
I think I included the breakfast but remember the panic part. I just hit book and let's hope for the best.
I am going to be away when the flights get posted for that day. I am going to have to be on it! This is not how I want to spend precious time in Istanbul but that's exactly when the tickets will be posted. Bah!
