Flight 27 - Taipei Bound

Les Suites Da An in Taipei

We made it to TPE safe and sound. . .I think I only read for a few minutes, slept a couple of hours, but I watched 4 movies!! Seats in EVA Deluxe were comfortable. Food was plentiful, and tasty for my Asian taste buds. Shrimp and Rice (curry flavored) or Chicken and potatoes for dinner. Rice Porridge (or eggs/ham) for breakfast. Tooth brush provided, along with slippers, quilt, pillow, Vitamin C drop, cookies, Rice Cracker mix, and warm rolls.

There's a "Fever Check" when you get off the plane, and of course, I knew I would be the one they stopped. Nurse said I was running a slight fever, asked if I had bitten by a mosquito - I hadn't stepped foot out of the airport yet, and no bites. Probably was, and still am dehydrated though.

The first step out of the airport was the first taste of Taiwan. It took me a few minutes to catch my breath through the thick air, and there was a lot of smokers out there too! Once in the van, it was great - Thanks to a friend who's currently living in Taiwan for the summer, our transportation was arranged, and the driver talked to our friend via cell phone so she could translate.

When we arrived at the hotel, Les Suites Da-An, the driver and the front desk helped us to translated our itinerary for Sunday when we go to Kaohsiung and Pingtung. Service is GREAT. The Suite is nice, spacious, very clean, separate shower and tub which will be perfect when we pick up Gracyn, and nice carpet in case we end up sleeping on the floor.

I felt so relieved once I logged on to my computer. I now feel connected to home. I can't believe after the weekend I'll be holding Gracyn in my arms! Luckily EVA has a ton of KIDS movies and shows, and they're offered in multiple languages.

To my DH - great job posting hon! But if I have "the" computer, which is why you're never on our blog, how is it that I'm in Taipei and posting, but you're in the US and posting too??? HMMMMM. . .we must have more than one computer in the house - Ask Peyton to count for you. It's three. Yes, we have 3 computers hon. . .Welcome to the world of blogging!

PTL for an uneventful, and pleasant trip here!
