Away from home

I’ve been having a blast for the most part from our holiday trip to the US. I actually started posting pics in the gallery… which is a work in progress.

Hola from Taipei

So we’re in transit to Seattle, and we have a friggin’ 7 hour layover here at Taipei.

It’s been a fun travel day all things considered. Mom and I put dad in Business Class because of his condition, and we were in deluxe 1 Which is the median between regular coach, and Business Class – and just paid extra to be able to use the Business Class facilities while we wait.

We also put him in a wheelchair just for kicks. He is a senior citizen after all, and while he still can walk, he’s far from being “fit.” It’s amazing the level of “clearance” you get because of that.
