So many thrills, so few regrets. And though you cannot include everything in Turkey on a 3-week trip, how I wish we could have stayed just one more day in Cappadocia. Just one.
When Jay called ahead to ascertain if the hotel was ready for us, he was asked, “Are you with the press?” Jay replied, “There are 30 of us. How can we be with the press?”
We arrived at the hotel to learn the press were there as well as many others in preparation for the arrival of Nicholas Cage and Eva Mendes who were flying to Turkey to film “Ghost Rider 2”. A group of stunt people were already in Cappadocia setting up scenes and shooting, and a team was there rewriting. Two days later our hotel was absolutely awash with cast and crew. And yet, no Nicholas Cage. He arrived the day we departed.
So to you, Mr. Cage, if you are reading I'd like to say, “We missed each other by just a few hours in Cappadocia, but I'll be in Istanbul all next week. There's no need to bring Eva."
