Tuesday/Wednesday, Feb 3rd-4th

Flights:
• Early in the morning, I said a very sad goodbye to Cecilie and Jennifer at about 6am, Reed took me to the airport…
o But I will be back to see Reed and Jennifer in May! And I am sure Cecilie’s and my paths will cross soon too =)


• Trip to Taiwan
o Very smooth 3 flights: Denver to Seattle, Seattle to Tokyo (Japan), Tokyo to Taipei (capital of Taiwan)
o Shampooed my hair in Tokyo airport sink
 People probably thought I was crazy!
o Looong day! At least 24 hours travel day… I ate lots of airplane food

o I waited more than twenty minutes for my luggage… I was crossing my fingers for my bags to appear!
• Mitch, the Community Impact (CI) Coordinator for Asia, came out of nowhere! His flight came in right after mine and he spotted me in baggage claim
• We met up with Luis, the Taiwan Tour Manager, and Steven, a local Taiwanese volunteer
• Long drive to Taipei from the airport, but it was nice to chat in the car
• Stay overnight with Mei Lin and E Ann, the host family where Luis and Paul Whitaker (Asian Tour Director) are staying
• Fall right asleep on couch (it was after midnight, I was exhausted!)
