We made it safely to Taiwan!




We arrived a little after 10:35pm (Taiwan Time) on Saturday night. We then went through Customs and Immigration and finally found our luggage (we were getting a little worried). Chris did great and I did better than expected on the long flight. I didn't start complaining or going crazy until about 4 hours before we landed. :)




EVA Air was very nice. The Service and food were outstanding. They even present you with warm towels after you board and again before you land. We were very impressed!




We are certainly feeling our ages though because after a 29 hour total-trip, I think every bone in our bodies hurt......




Attached are photos of our room for your viewing pleasure. We are getting ready to go and try the breakfast buffet. We will provide you with a review as soon as we can.




For those of you that know me well, I am pleased to announce that I tried a traditional Chinese "snack" last night. I did opt for a fork instead of chop sticks and lasted all of one bite because it was SPICY.




Today, our guide, Mei Ru, is taking us to the Holiday Market, Taipei 101 and lunch. More pics to be posted soon.




We pick up Drew on Monday at 2pm local Taiwan time. Pics should be available by Noon on 12/17 EST. Stay Tuned.




Thanks again for your prayers and good wishes.

I'm happy to hear that you made it there safe and sound. That is a long trip. I don't know if I would have done as good as you Tricia. Your room looks really nice. Is it really small. Matt said that it looked big for Tawain standards. I love and miss you!!
