We are in Taipei!!!
We made it in around 8 pm last night, got to the hotel around 10pm and then to a little walk down the street to get water and some snacks. It is a busy place, and the traffic is crazy!!! Scooters everywhere and the cars will not necessarily stop for you even if you are in a cross walk! This will be an adventure for sure!
The flight was pretty non-eventful and a lot better than I was expecting. We met up with the Laura and the Grey family and LAX and so far it has been great! We both had a small panic attack LAX when we were standing in line waiting to check in at China Air and I asked David about the passports. David turned an awful shade of white and told me he didn’t remember packing them and that they might still be on the kitchen table at home. After what seemed like forever, we finally found them and now we are here. Let’s hope that is the last of the panic attacks!
It seems strange to be in our daughters homeland. It is going to be very hard waiting until Monday to get to finally hold her in our arms. We have waited so long. It almost seems like a dream. Lisa Grey and I were joking that we might have to do some stalking over at Chung Yi!
We tried to post last night, but the connection was not working very well, sorry about that to all of you who have been checking all day long.
It is 6:30 am right now and even though we are still both very tired we could not stay in bed any longer,
the view from our hotel room looks just like I thought Taipei would look- lots of crammed together buildings that are dingy and dirty, crowded streets, laundry hanging out to dry.
Will it really dry here? It is so humid that the tiled sidewalks seem slippery!
Well, we are off to see what today’s adventures have in store for us. Only two more days until Maya!
