Welcome To Taiwan!

I finally arrived in Taiwan at 11:00 pm, (8:00 am Boise time) a full 24 hours after I left! I think it's safe to say that I was beyond delirious when I finally pulled up to my sister's beautiful house. After a good night's sleep I woke up to an amazing view out of my bedroom window. It looks out over a big farm complete with fruit trees and adorned with tons of little white butterflies. I had no idea what a jungle it is there! It is very green and lush and you can hear exotic birds singing all day. I came out of my room and was greeted by some very excited nieces and nephews and we got the party started! Of course I had to bust out my suitcase full of treats and presents for the kids immediately! Lollipops for breakfast?

Touchdown Tokyo


Shayn and I were so lucky to have the opportunity to go spend time with my sister and her family in Taiwan during the Chinese New Year. Getting there however is easier said than done, turns out Taiwan is VERY far away! Well into my 20th hour of traveling and chasing the sun the whole way, I finally caught up with it in Tokyo and witnessed the most amazing sunset ever at the airport. It was a sign of good times to come!
