We thrive off spontaneity while traveling, which occasionally comes with consequences. We had just shy of two weeks between Kelsey's parents departing and our first World Cup game & avoided committing those two weeks until we arrived in them; that led to an interesting flight path out of Valencia with an 8-hour overnight layover in IST. We've frequented this airport in our travels this year & are well versed with its top-rated lounge. We spent the night getting snacks, beginning to catch up on blog posts, and sleeping in lounge/chaise chairs. This was the first time we'd found ourselves in this situation in our nearly seven months of travel; it felt like a right of passage. The sleep wasn't the worst.
