Sure. And we expect to spend plenty of time in the Konya and Ankara museums looking at all the stuff Mellart dug up at CH. Except I'm not lugging your video gear.

We have assurances from the travel agent arranging the trip she has contacts among archaeologists who might be persuaded to show us the sites. We'll see. She doesn't seem in the least phased by our requests to see these oddball places.

A "tour" of about ten days has been quoted at $3,100 a person for two people, supposedly including lodging, breakfasts, entrance fees, a full time guide and driver for the Eastern portion of the trip and all transportation (some by the private driver and vehicle, some by plane.) Excluding air to or from Istanbul, meals other than breakfast, shopping, drinking, and other incidentals.

We think it would be possible to do it less expensively, on our own. But given the logistics of travel in the East, our hesitance to drive a lot in Turkey, the possible waste of time given problems in finding sites and other screwups, and our lack of infinite time to noodle around Turkey solving logistical problems, we're probably going to go the "luxury" route as outlined above.

I'm hoping this will be the DtSA trip to cap all DtSAs!
