Description

Wow. Lot’s to report, and I don’t want to hear a single “I told you so”. We missed our flight to Tel Aviv yesterday, so we’re still in Istanbul. This is not bad, because Istanbul is a fantastic city, but it is bad because there are some programmers in Palestine who will not get their software by Monday. Martin and I still aren’t sure what we’re going to do about it - any suggestions are welcome, but we don’t have the budget to book another flight and I think it’s safe to say that Rob isn’t going to wire us any more cash… Our options so far include: 1. a bus through Syria and into Jordan, then into Israel. 2. a really fast speedboat 3. stay in Turkey for Anzac day and start looking for jobs :-( We cut the day a little close, but there should have been plenty of time to get to the airport. We ended up missing a tram, only to find that the next one wouldn’t come for half an hour. Ugh. We’re holding up pretty well considering, but I think this is shaping up to be a truly interesting trip… Big shout out to the Mavi Guest House people, who are treating us with circumspect solicitude, I guess you could say ;-) They aren’t used to backpackers fighting with their bosses at midnight in the guest lounge, but they gave us a couple of beers after…

About On The Road Projects

Micah and Martin love to travel. They say they're not into polar expeditions or anything like that, but we think otherwise. This spring they started the NetBeans on the Road way down to the Middle East with a very special delivery. NetBeans CDs for a group of guys they'd never seen, to a place they'd never been to, a country which does not allow such packages to be mailed. Since then they continue with their mission to connect NetBeans community all around the world.

The whole time they travel they keep us updated by posting notes and videos on their blog. You can watch them connecting NetBeans users, fans and friends. Have a look and see for yourself.
