Antalya Update- Sarah

We arrived at District Conference late last night and had a very happy reunion with members from all the Clubs and Families from along our grand adventure-- it was great to see familiar faces we have missed!

Of course it took us no time to find our way to the dance floor and we were quickly making more friends as we learned (or attempted to learn!) new Turkish moves.

If you have a second-- check out our Hotel-- it is seriously p-i-m-p. http://www.miracleotel.com

Whoever named this hotel "Miracle" had it right-- wow. Priceline has never hooked me up with something this sweet -ha!

There was a beach party and BBQ from 10pm (approx when we arrived) to midnight so after checking in we headed downstairs to grab some food, a cocktail, and meet up with everyone. But the Rotary folks were no where to be found. Hmmm... We walked past the DJ area. The pool. A restaurant or three. Another pool. Is that a waterslide?! Hello Diamond Jim's! The Hookah bar. Masses of people eating and drinking and circled back to the lobby to no avail.

The helpful desk informed us that since it was dark we must not have gone all the way to the ocean where the Beach Party literally was on the BEACH. Holy smokes. This place is even more huge and pimp than we thought! We finally made our way down and the aforementioned frivolity ensued.

Waking up for brekky we found another surprise-- when you look out over the sea-- there's a mountain range as the backdrop. Dear families in Indiana- please try not to feel sorry for us as we make this slice of heaven our home for the next four days. ;)
