We're Here!

It is Wednesday morning here in Taipei. We leave to pick up Sydney in 24 hours!!!

After a 24+ hour trip, we finally made it to Taiwan and the hotel. Our JoH guide, Fion, seems very nice. She had a schedule all made out for us and will be taking us to do some sightseeing today.

At first we weren't sure we would have internet access as our WiFi couldn't connect. After speaking to the concierge we got it worked out. We didn't bring our own ethernet cable, but they had one at the front desk we were able to borrow. It definitely helped to speak the language as they didn't speak much English at all.

The Golden China Hotel is just OK. I wish we were able to stay at the Sheraton as I originally planned, but we will be fine here. Although the Sheraton is closer to the airport, this hotel is closer to AIT and other things which are easier for Fion to get to.

I guess one good thing about having to ride in Economy is I CANNOT sleep!! It really stinks at the time, but it helps with jet lag at your final destination as you are able to just go to bed when it's time. Luckily, we are used to traveling back and forth between N. America and Asia, so we are doing fine with the schedule.

Heading down to breakfast now!
