who's going to let us stay somewhere
without any money maybe we could find an
ATM cards don't work what about those
money exchange places I me they have
those everywhere which you need money to
exchange and we don't yeah but I could

closed

the same way as the money exchange shop
I had to show a Passport just check into
a hotel in istan yeah me too but I think
that whole like asking to stay for free
thing could be the bigger problem
then there's
that wait wait wait okay you ask why me

tonight why our tour bus takes us back
tomorrow morning and an emergency come
up at work I mean you do realize have a
life to get back to right so do I yeah
well this whole Fiasco could cost me my
job what are you doing trying to figure
out this credit card mess
showers free any luck with your credit
cards well they said it's not working
cuz I'm
overseas I thought they were supposed to
work worldwide yeah you would think so
are you sure it's not a problem with the
uh uh you
know your
balance no there's not a problem with
the uh
balance they said that because I didn't
call them before I went out of the
country that my charges would be flagged
as fraudulent even though it's
legitimate and you told them that
everything is fine
yeah that doesn't make any sense that's
what I told them but apparently they are
working on it and it should be fixed by
sometime
tomorrow so what about your other card
sadly it's through the same bank so same
problem yeah
exactly all right I'm going to get in
the shower all right I'm going to go to
sleep so I
guess you can have the bed and I'll take
the
floor okay
sh is
dead tourists
oh no
hi uh I spoke to someone at the hotel
last night is he
there okay I'm sorry I don't understand
anything you're saying um look did he
leave any word about uh tour company or
maybe Ephesus yeah yeah
Ephesus
hello
hello she hung up on me your hotel yeah
did you find out any more information
about the tour company or the name of it
I mean then we could just call ourselves
no all I understood was the word sick no
and Ephesus which she just repeated over
and over again what about you what about
me well your hotel or how do you arrange
the tour I just saw a pamphlet and
called I don't actually have a hotel
back in istanbull I checked out for this
tour hello you must leave now the
manager will be here soon
so what do we do now I don't know we
should probably try to get to the US
Embassy I mean our things may be long
gone at least they can get us what we
need to get home do you have any
educated guesses on where the closest
Embassy might
be a symbol yeah exactly okay we will
make our way there then uh hope the tour
company has our stuff and then if not
we'll go to the Embassy so glad you
pointed that out you know will you stop
it what stop acting like it's all my
fault I hate to point out the obvious
but okay then stop acting like I'm some
ditsy clumsy fool it was an accident and
I didn't force you to get off the bus
and I didn't tell the bus driver to
leave you and ever since then all I have
tried to do is whatever it takes to just
get us back to our lives
don't stop here I'm thirsty well I
really think that we should save the
money that you have not at the risk of
getting dehydrated plus I need to see if
my cards work okay well I'm I'm doing
the math in my head and we're not going
to have enough money if your cards don't
work cross your
fingers hi uh four Waters
please
no the shot uh um all right just
two we have a little left enough until
my cards get
fixed thank
you thank

those yeah

wallet what that guy just took my wallet
what hey
hey wait did you see where he went I
don't
know great this trip just keeps getting
better okay well the joke's on him you
didn't have any almost any cash in your
wallet and I mean your cards don't work

thanks so
IST do you think we can hit rides to get
there maybe um I mean I'm Not The
Backpacker type but we have gotten this
far
so why are you here anyway I mean in
this country I um I was a guest speaker
at a conference what topic it's kind of
technical okay um basically data mining
while navigating privacy concerns within
Cloud
Technologies sounds
riveting yeah did it not go well or no
it was fine oh sorry you just said that
your job was at risk so I thought that
oh no it's uh it's
complicated oh sorry we can't pay it's
fine thank you
kind of restores your faith in humanity
huh
yeah any luck no still won't turn
on how serious were you about
hitchiking
semi I'm going to go ask this guy yeah
but what if he's criminal well I I was
going to saying what if he's not going
to
Istanbul one way to find out
excuse me hi um we need to get to
Istanbul uh we need a ride could you uh
drive us to Istanbul no English Okay um
uh Istanbul uh you go to Istanbul
right what is it a translation app
clever did you tell him yeah see me
typing just making
sure I have some more deliveries to make
but then I'm going 100 km in that
direction I'm not going to istanb but I
could take you to that point yes thank
you yes please yeah okay
thank you oh uh wait
um what are you doing I'm asking where
we
are
that oh okay thank you I'll s oh I can
keep it oh oh thank you have a good day
okay um so
where are we we are here so I think
North is
uh I think we have to go that
way wait hold on what I think that this
is
uh what I think it's one of the places
that we were supposed to stop on the
tour it is come on let's go could the
bus be here
any sign of the tour group all the buses
out front were gone and it took us all
day to get here unfortunately probably
all long gone by
now well we should probably get going to
then hey can I take a few minutes here
please sure what is this place anyways
uh it's an ancient military fort okay
that's pretty cool yeah I just wish I
had my camera
so what's with the envelope
they're letters they're all
letters my
mom she came here when she was younger
and she loved
it why was she
here to explore to be on her own I
think that's when she talks
about how strong the walls are and the
idea that
the fort protected people for centuries
and it made her feel
safe I think she was nervous about
traveling on her
own this
place how did she put
it she she felt like she got strength
from here that she took with her H it's
pretty neat did you write all the
letters when is
here uh no she wrote them a few months
ago before she passed
away I'm so
sorry it's okay my uh dad gave them to
me with instructions from her not to
open them until I got to the place with
the name on the front of
them things weren't very settled until
recently with my dad
so this was the earliest I felt like I
could come
so if she came here does that mean the
other letters are from other spots on
the tour yeah most of
them that's why I chose the
tour
wow
well it's an amazing gift she left to
you
yeah yeah it
is thanks for stopping back
there it was cool
I'm glad we did I mean we might as well
enjoy something on this trip
right
yeah I think maybe we just keep on this
way try to get to the next
town okay I'll keep an eye out for a
ride coold aren you not really my feet
are killing me it's a like could think
about all of these Hills and Roads that
we've pass in still no Town can't turn
back I know
but oh a car wait hey over
here see
drunk are you
okay
yeah um
thank
you I
uh I think maybe we should stop and find
a place you
know off the road for tonight
yeah good idea
what is this place no idea did you see a
sign
m- oh look at this try the door
um it's locked
okay not a bad place to
stop all right let's try over
there I missed my
hotel I know what you
mean at least it's peaceful out here
yeah
did you tell what that was
yeah an
animal wow that that degree it's it's
really
helped do you have any
pets
fish that's it I love my patience but
when I come home I need a break kind of
like how a pizza maker when he comes
home purposely doesn't eat pizza and
that's your analogy yeah it works if you
say
so so do you have any
pets no I had a dog growing up it was
CH is just this big massive ball of f an
energy what was his
name
CH my sister named him sure
so where else in the country did your
mom visit you know what you wrote you
about
Troy she loved big
mythology I actually already went there
before the Ephesus
tour like the uh saltan Ned in isol
where you can see the haa Sophia and the
Blue Mosque there's a sister in there
too but
I saved that one for
last that's
nice she talked about a lot of places in
our
LS some even more amazing but not all of
them got letters did she ever tell you
about them like when you were growing
up
no not
really we
uh we argued a lot say that we didn't
get along is an understatement was that
when you were a
kid
no whole
life I mean we were cordial during the
holidays but we could have tried more
should have tried
more I'm sure it wasn't just you though
yeah me it takes too
right what' you say about
Troy um
she like to imagine Helen and
Paris and all of the commotion that
their relationship start
up in the battle with mle
house
met
leas she wondered about the Trojan
Horse who
wouldn't I don't know
surprisingly she was
romantic about it what's surprising
about that I mean wasn't the whole thing
some like big romantic
Affair yeah but she was just so no
nonsense and the side of her was
just
fanciful I me if that's the right
word maybe she had more heart than she
let
on H
maybe still
cold I'll be
fine you'll be
cold I still have long
sleeves thank
you you're welcome
good night
Jack good night hope
so just thinking ahead for tonight we
have got to find a way to clean
ourselves up so we can sleep so we're
more
civilized no argument there but that
does take money so well uh keep your
eyes open for a way we can make some
quick cash
then you all right
yeah just checking
smart I keep thinking I should try to
find a way to call work but I don't know
that it' make a difference why not well
I'm supposed to be in the office
tomorrow and I could think of a few
people that will know I'm not there not
in a good way well so they wouldn't
understand all of this more like they'd
use it to get what they want which is
what to see me fired really
yeah I found out my boss sent me here to
Turkey to just get me out of the
way I've been working on something and
it's getting a lot of attention like
really really good attention and turns
out he wants it for himself no yeah when
we're in Ephesus I got a call from my
buddy Mark um he's a cooworker and he
actually let me know that they were
interviewing for my position right
behind my back wait so that's why you
have to get back back
yeah I don't know if it'll make a
difference but figured I should try
right you have to at least stand up for
yourself yeah that's the
plan look what is that a Turkish bath
house isn't that just like a spa uh no
it's really more of like a cultural
thing although it's probably spot-like
in more of the rtier resorts definitely
not my
thing oo well that would definitely
solve one of our problems
hello come
please
come have you a Turkish bus oh uh no uh
we would like to but I I don't think we
can you can't come to Turkey and not
have a true Turkish bus oh uh we don't
have any money yeah oh oh what happened
to your arm it's flaw I slipped I mean
do you run this place by yourself
because that would be really difficult
yes Som days yes maybe we can help you
help yeah maybe we could do cleaning or
help with whatever else you need you
yeah and then in exchange we could use
the facilities and 600
L 5 l
dear you go there uh stay
please it's for you but first clean then
you can bus okay I
will you're there
M what
this is the
best uh I'm all done with these where do
you want me to put them oh
there is this a lost and found
mhm hey how'd it go um
disturbing well we got paid
and I got a tip for scrubbing some guys
back really that's uh I don't want to
talk about it well
maybe this will make you feel better
where did you get that lost
found okay so obviously you've been
through an experience but we've got
money now so maybe we can find a place
to stay tonight sounds good uh where uh
maybe um
oh maybe I bed and
breakfast okay but no bartering okay I
don't want to clean anything or anyone
ever again don't worry you don't have
to taada so you're telling me you got
this room for 500 L 4 50 I bargained you
what I bargained not
Bartered and because of the extra 100
from your tip we can go out for a nice
simple dinner very simple other good
news breakfast is included you're
kidding you're
welcome okay so we've actually made
pretty good progress considering the
fact that we could have just driven a
whole lot faster with our imaginary cab
or rental are yes uh but worse comes to
worse it looks like we could walk this
in a day or two let's hope it doesn't
come to that if we get the right ride we
can be inable tomorrow morning really
yeah but if not we need to make it to
that point there and that'd be good
progress you know this is pretty close
to one of the original stops in the tour
if I'm reading this right which one the
bizaar Grand Bazaar I'm pretty sure
that's in Istanbul no there are bazaars
everywhere this is one of those enticing
spend all your money kind of stops that
they have on every tour but it's one
that your mom wrote about yeah but I
mean it's okay I can just go on my own
you don't have to oh no no no it's fine
um we should probably stick together but
uh first food
please I say we use all the money we
have left that won't be hard but what
happened to saving it oh I don't know I
figured that you probably wouldn't want
to work for another meal and not to be
overly confident but things have gone
pretty good so far I
mean could be worse no don't jinx
it all right I got to ask how did you
become such a good bargainer or is that
the word m
negotiator sure you know what I mean I I
got it from my mom she used to take us
to thrift stores as kids you know to get
school stuff or whatever and she would
bargain with the thrift store employees
I would get so embarrassed I mean I get
it if something's overpriced or if it's
in bad condition but then trying to get
a dollar off of a used skirt I mean I
for one would love to see you
embarrassed I bet you would I dreaded
going and the thing is like everything
was fair game with her if you hated it
so much what changed cuz now you are
really good at it I don't
know maybe
it's just the choice of haggling or
going without here maybe I'm more
confident than I thought I
was maybe I'm channeling my mom on this
trip so you don't do this back home I
there's not really a need to unless I'm
buying a car dealerships fear me oh I
believe it so what's your secret please
teach me your ways oh
okay there are three steps to a good
negotiation
first
smile a
smile trust me it means that you mean
business but you're going to be like
cool about it got
it
two eye
contact little intense but okay and the
third the third a handshake here it has
to be firm but not too firm confident
but not intimidating
just
like sealing the deal with
a mutual
respect it's good
hinche I think I'm turned around here
actually I think we found
it I hope you write your letter of
course I just wish I had my
wallet there's just so much to
see wow
no no we're good we're
good dear hope it's been so many years I
hope the bizaar is still there I'm
wondering if everything I've written
still makes sense or if the places I
went to change too much to recognize by
my descriptions but assuming it's mostly
the same learn from my mistakes first
watch out for someone taking advantage
of the fact you're a foreigner I didn't
understand the money fully yet and paid
triple for a scarf I ended up giving
that scarf away a couple of years later
because it bothered me so
much second try something new this was
the place I discovered Turkish delight
not the Box stuff we can get at home
covered in powdered sugar but real
fresh-made Turkish delight I'm sure the
shops Chang but I remember buying some
there that became my favorite
try
it hey good letter yeah um did you see
any Turkish delight shops uh yeah
actually down there but we don't have
any money I know I just want to see
it I'm
salivating we just St come on you can't
pretend that these don't look
delicious which
one feel like I'm going to get a cavity
just staring that
one little outside our price
range well at least now I know why my
mom wrote about them just looking at
them is
memorable hey I just remembered
something that I wanted to check out um
I'm going to head back oh okay no no no
um you must be tired and the hotel's
right there it's okay I I don't mind
I'll be quick I promise okay all right
be safe
hey I think these are mostly dry thought
it'd be nice to have some clean clothes
for a change thank you I think I'd like
to burn these
so what's
that it's a little
tree here
um
okay
what
how I actually
Bartered I um I just thought you
shouldn't miss out on anything your mom
wanted you to experience
thank
you you're
welcome you're going to try some right
after you try it
first and I still don't quite know what
they are
so
yeah that good
mhm all right
wow that is not what I
expected huh that's a look yeah thank
you lost and found you're not looking
too shabby
yourself don't you want the
bed no you take it this time you sure
yeah
thanks so what's going to happen if you
go back and your job's not there not
sure part of me so angry about what's
going on I could put up a fight make a
big deal out of it but
but
what I'm afraid I don't stand a
chance I mean little me versus the big
boss besides I'm away and can't do
anything about it he's trying to fire
me by the time I get back am I just
making it worse for myself I
mean maybe if you go quietly he'll owe
you not that that's great either worked
really hard there
I mean if you go back maybe he'll just
stop what he's doing I hope so but even
if he
does I already know what he's
done do I really want to stay and War
for someone like
that you're just making me really glad
that I'm
self-employed all right question for you
now if you could write back to your mom
about your experience in Turkey what
would you
say I would I would tell her I've gotten
really good at
cleaning she used to critique my chores
when I was a teen she'd be impressed
now and I would have to brag about my
bargaining skills
absolutely oh and I would tell her that
I have learned how to Hitch
he
and and I'm glad I'm not
alone well this trip
is not turned out like anything I
thought it
would it uh it's still been a great
adventure

oh hey so I noticed something on the map
earlier H or just a few kilometers away
from some thermal Springs wait really
yeah isn't that one of the spots from
your mom's envelope uh yeah it is shall
we eat
fast are you going to eat that
is that it I think it's down there it's
supposed to be beautiful you can get in
the water and everything come
on
how
nature I don't understand it
do you want to hear
it if you want to share but I I know
it's private so oh
no it's okay
dear
hope I remember being upset when I came
to these thermal Springs I had talked to
my boyfriend at the time and it seemed
like everything was doomed between
us there I was in a paradise of sorts a
landscape so unique and
lovely I was just going to hurry and
take a roll of pictures and be on my way
then I saw it I can still remember the
shade of the water and all the Limestone
around it was it
Limestone I think so I remember soaking
the
pools and looking over all the
Springs it gave me
perspective one argument didn't
matter Only Hell I felt
mattered and I missed him and I wish
that he was there with
me and that's when I knew things would
work out with my boyfriend
and it
did your father and I got
married later that
year my favorite spot was in the pools
all the way at the bottom make sure to
take lots of
pictures so your dad can see
them love Mom
come on aren't you going to get in I
already have my feet in that doesn't
count this is amazing come

highly doubt you're going to get a

just you don't have to
go I was thinking we would
go
oh I
uh I would but the bus is going to the
beach and
it's on your mom's list yeah and I just
have the beach and the sister and left
so
yeah makes sense but it's only going to
be a few hours I mean I can't imagine it
would make that big of a difference back
home a few more hours could could be
everything but you don't know
that I know I can't take the risk if I
have the chance to fight for my career
everything I've worked for I have to do
it but if hope listen I've wasted enough
time with all of this I don't have the
luxury of sticking around for a bunch of
letters that don't mean anything to me
I'm sorry that was
yeah um you should
probably you should probably get
going listen you know I didn't mean any
of and you should call about your wallet
being
stolen and uh you should take this stop
I can't how else are you going to get to
istan
ball thanks
safe travels
then you
too bye
and our next stop this beautiful beach
will be our last sight on our tour so
enjoy it this beach has a rich history
and is thought to be where ancient
Mariners landed ages ago and discovered
the beautiful sites of the Turkish
Countryside
dear hope my trip was winding down and
all of my worries from life started to
creep in finishing College figuring out
my future of course your father was a
bright spot there but still I worried
I'd spent my trip letting go and
enjoying life growing up in some ways of
course but it was coming to an end being
here on this beach helped me relax I sat
on the rocks and looked out over the
water the sound was soothing I closed my
eyes and let that sound those waves wash
away my worries I have to admit I did
that a lot afterwards too it became my
technique I used whenever I was stressed
or whenever we argued no matter your
worries give it a try maybe it'll help
you like it did me
Mr Jeb you are back yeah I am what
happened I thought you were going to
help me I'm very sorry I was sick I
almost went to hospital well glad you're
feeling better now do you need anything
sent to your room I I actually got to
get on the next flight so thank you in
the morning no no no there's got to be
something tonight it's late for such
departures but I will book something for
you no no no um I'll take care of it but
thank thank you I appreciate
it uh it was wild
Gabby but um everything is as it should
be
and I'm
fine well do you need anything are you
changing your
flight no um I should be able to keep my
schedule as is I've got one last stop in
this and
bow how's everything there Mrs Samuel's
cat snagged one of her Birds the bird
didn't make it but the cat looked very
happy uh I'll have that one yes and one
of
those thank
you dear Mom someone asked why I'd say
if I wrote you back and it got me
thinking why
not my experience on this journey has
probably not been what you thought it'd
be I made a
good
friend and lost him
too I wonder what you'd say about
him where to
start okay so you have absolutely no
flights
tonight okay well uh I'll do the 10:45
tomorrow
then uh yeah yeah no I'm
here okay uh perfect thank you
good morning good morning your driver
will be here in a few minutes perfect
thank
you I hope there are at least some good
memories of to you can't take
home
yeah change your plans could you take me
somewhere else
dear hope this s has some neat history
behind it I remember I spent the day
exploring all over Istanbul but this was
the spot that made me stop and think I
was so proud of how I fared on this trip
I felt twice as confident and
experienced in life and the world in a
way I didn't know I could be I lived and
that's what I want for you you are
incredibly talented and hardworking but
don't limit yourself with what you need
no follow your heart trust your
instincts I wish this was a trip we
could have taken together maybe away
from our normal routine and environment
we could have broken out of our mold and
stopped seeing the differences between
us maybe we'd see each other in a new
light but time's running out so I guess
I'll just make sure you know the truth
something I rarely said after our many
squabbles over the years I love you and
not because you're my daughter and it's
expected
but because you are amazing I love
everything about you even your strength
to hold your own when we argued never
doubt that
love I love you too Mom
here you want a
photo what are you doing here well this
is one of the places to see in istan
right couldn't come all this way and
miss
it I just I thought you would be on a
Plane by now or back in
Atlanta eventually
but I had somewhere more important to be
today where
with
you
but what about your job it'll either be
there when I get back or
not
but I do have the truth on my side and
maybe it'll be
enough well I mean you deserve
everything you've worked for and I hope
that they see that me
too I
uh I realized after you were gone
that I
never told you how grateful I
was to have you by my
side are you sure it was grateful
instead of
annoyed
eventually
but you made me
feel safe
and Dad e and
I I found myself enjoying every minute
of
it even The Crazy
Ones so thank you for that I was glad we
were together
too after all it was the best worst trip
ever
but I did make a mistake when I left you
at the
springs and you had to get back to estle
did
I I let everything I was afraid of with
my job overshadow what I felt for
you this morning I woke up thinking
about that plane ride Fring the entire
way home about my future but you're
here because nothing that truly matters
is on that plane or back
home it's right here
I like your
logic yeah and I agree with
it wholeheartedly
