Tomorrow afternoon I'll be officially on my way to Taiwan. Here is my itinerary:
Wednesday, August 5th:
2:27pm - Depart Manchester, NH
4:10pm - Arrive Washington, DC
5:25pm - Depart Washington, DC
7:51pm - Arrive Los Angeles, LAX
Thursday, August 6th:
1:40am - Depart LAX
Friday, August 7th
6:25am - Arrive Taipei, Chiang Kai-Shek Airport!
Keep in mind that Taiwan is exactly 12 hours ahead of us, so 6:25am means 6:25pm on Thursday for those on the East Coast still. California is 3 behind. Womp womp. Confused yet? I go back in time to go forward. Talk about back to the future! ha ha! (sorry, I had to)
Big thanks to Rachel, who lent me her big red suitcase for this trip! You're a blessing!!! I bought a $60 "designer" suitcase at Marshalls when I was in Boston (it has four wheels! It spins!), so I have two good suitcases that are packed full to the brim with junk. I actually didn't have a problem with weight, they're both about 5 lbs less than they need to be, it's just the size of the stuff. It's all really crammed in there. I'm not shipping anything over either, in case you were wondering, because I figure it'll be cheaper to just buy stuff over there if I need it. Like sheets or something.
So, I've been tying up loose ends. I had a going away party in Boston two weekends ago, I had a family going away party yesterday, I've packed up all my worldy-but-staying-behind possessions in a storage unit (including everything left at mom and dad's..), and I'm off!
Thank you to everyone who has supported me thus far! I have many friends in Taiwan who are waiting for me to come so that they can take care of me (and relieve me of my American bought goods for them).
Hope ya'll have a fantastic rest of your summer.. here's to new beginnings!
Best,
Tiffany
