Travel to Taipei

We got up at 5:00AM and left home at 6:00.  Thanks to John for the ride!!  Our flight left at 8:00AM on Monday and we had a great time traveling!  The kids did absolutely fantastic.  God has blessed us with some troopers; they did not complain one time.  The first flight was full of excitement because they don’t remember flying before.  The second leg was even better b/c it was a double decker plane (747).  The kids thought this was the best!!  This flight was extremely long--12 hours.  The kids went to sleep for a few of them, Dad did not sleep at all, and I slept for maybe 2 hours.  The final flight had TV screens at each seat and that made it fun for the kids.   We got in about 9:45pm Taiwan time and only 3 out of the 4 bags made it.  Unfortunately, it was the bag with Scott’s clothes and mine.  It was a downer when we met our ride to the hotel and found out that Taipei City was one hour away....  We checked into our hotel at 11:30PM Tues.   The kids got to bed at about 1 AM on Wed (Note 5AM on Mon to 1 AM Wed).

Elise got up before 7 AM, but Bryce had to be woken up at 10 to eat breakfast.  

Another funny, the room is a suite, and very nice.  However, it only had one bed and a couch that is not a sleeper.  We called to get another bed, and they brought up a crib (we did not know they were doing this).  However, Elise was sooo excited about sleeping in a crib so we told them to just leave it—funny that our 6 y/o can still fit into a crib and was excited about it

Today we have explored some of Taipei, here are some pictures:
