Oops, forgot to put on my low-heel black boots, I guess slippers it is! Though it wasn't quite as noticeable as the picture as I had jeans on then. Unbelieveable! The check-in line is loooong, but Chris has platinum elite access status so we're able to get in the short line, which is not moving hardly. Hmmm, something's wrong. We find out the airline delayed our flight 5 hours in order to switch planes so we get to hang out at the airport, then fly 13 painful hours to Japan and stay the night--have to go through customs, get our bags, ride a bus (and they drive on the opposite side of the road--a first experience for me) to a hotel, sleep a few hours, get back on the bus to the airport, go through security again, and fly the final four hours to Taipei, Taiwan. But we're here now and I have two stamps on my passport and I feel somewhat tall around here--lucky me!

Off On the Wrong Feet
Monday morning, Jan. 10th, awake @ 5:15, yes, Colton has got himself outta bed and his ride to swim practice shows up--yes! One down, three to go. I hear Eli's alarm go off too early, but he usually gets himself up. After 20 minutes I check, he fell back asleep. Oops, get him going and his ride shows up and now it's 2 down, 2 to go. Wake Jake and Livvy, get my shower and dressed. It's chilly still, too cold for bare feet so I'll put on my slippers till it's time to go. Get breakfast, pack the last few items, put away some dishes, load the dishwasher, a quick wipe-down of our bathroom--it's time to go! Chris warms up the suburban, get Jake, Livvy, Caleb, Makana, Jaedyn, Chris and I in the car, drop off the kids at school and it's off to the airport for a 10-day trip to Taiwan, via Tokyo. Traffic is heavy and we worry we're running late. But we're here now and I get out to help Chris get our luggage and something's wrong--I look down at my feet

Reading it was even more funny than watching it in action!
I am glad to see that you are all set in Taiwan. I can't wait to see pictures! :)
Well, that just gives you an excuse to by shoes in Taiwan right?
