It feels almost rude to hijack this thread about comparing airports but I thought I would return to the theme of "Are you still going?".
We thought we were struggling to a definite decision about this and deciding not to go in 2017. Nothing to do with terrorism, that doesn't bother us. It is the moral question of holidaying in a country where thousands are tortured, academics and journalists are thrown into gaol for making critical comments, judges are locked up for making "wrong" decisions, opposition news outlets are closed, protestors are water-canoned and beaten, and the President is surrounded by a gang of thugs who enjoy kicking the sh1t out of people with anti-Erdogan placards even when Erdogan is touring other countries. So perhaps it is about terrorism after all -if you class Erdogan as a terrorist. Our tentative decision was to move to a sort of compromise. We have always said we would return to Northern Cyprus - which would be Turkish without being Turkey. And we wouldn't want to do both TRNC and Turkey in the same year. So perhaps 2017 would be a good year to give Turkey a miss.
But then Hilary's youngest sister threw another factor into the mix. She had been reading my daughter's input on facebook saying that when they joined us in June it was "an amazing holiday, best ever" and was now thinking that she and her partner would like to join us for next year. Something more to think about. Ho, hum.
