I snapped this photo at the mall one day, it fascinates me for some reason.
I was at the travel agent today, paying for our Turkey/Greek island vacation when a man in a wheelchair rolled in and gave the travel agents little Turtles chocolates which they gladly accepted and complained about gaining weight. One girl said, 'I'm not pregnant, it's Turtles chocolates!' I get the feeling he's there every day. He even gave me one.
We have to decide whether to mail our passports in to the Turkish embassy in Ottawa to get a visa to enter the country, or to just get the visa when we arrive there. According to Rick Steves' 'Istanbul' travel guide, Canadians and Americans should be able to get one in Turkey by paying the proper fee. It's just a hassle having to mail your passports away and our friends tried calling the Turkish Embassy and got a message saying you could get visas in Turkey. I think that's what I'm going to do.

I would not mail my passport anywhere. I think it might be best to get the visas here before you go, nothing would be worse then getting to the airport and them not letting you into the country.
I hope you get it all worked out.
When we went to China in 2000, the tour company took care of getting the visas.
I don't remember which carrier we used to send them to their office in San Francisco, but needless to say they were insured every possible way. and I held my breath until they were returned some weeks later.
Sadly, I've never needed a visa even though I've travels a lot, so I'm no help. But I know Greece is amazing. I hope you love it.
Happy weekend,

I can feel the excitement mounting concerning your trip.
That sure is a fascinating photo Christine.
I would get the visa in Turkey as well, don't like mailing passports anywhere they may get lost.
When are you leaving, I am sure you told me but I am having a senior moment!

Peggy we're leaving in late July.
That is a GORGEOUS photo!!! Well done :-) Did you take it with your phone?!
Christine, when Roxi went to Turkey for her choir trip in March, everyone just got their visas in Ankara. Absolutely no trouble whatsoever!
Japra, most of my photos are taken with my phone, it's so handy. I'd like to get one of those flip cameras that take videos too. One of these days when I get around to it. I don't think they're very expensive.
