We made it!

(This is Jessica, reclaiming my blog!)

50 hours after leaving Knoxville, we finally made it to Taipei! It is 12:30 a.m. on Tuesday morning here. We're trying to get settled and into bed. We are supposed to meet Sister Rosa at the Cathwel Orphanage tomorrow at 10 a.m. for a visit, and to take all of the donations that we brought with us. I'm excited and nervous to go to the orphanage tomorrow. It's a strange feeling!

Our travel was smooth after our 24 hour delay in Dallas. We had a hard time with American Airlines, and it seemed that the right hand had no idea what the left hand was doing. Every agent told us something different, so we got very frustrated! Despite it all, we are thankful to be here, safe and sound in Taiwan! Thank you so much for your prayers, they definitely helped! I am always such a nervous flyer, and I did better on this trip than any other, which is a miracle! The highlight of our day was flying over pretty much the entire state of Alaska. It took about 2 hours for us to fly over it. It was so beautiful and looked so cold! We got to see beautiful mountains and glaciers. It was amazing! Greg filmed video of it, which we'll post later on!

Tokyo airport was amazing, so clean! We rented a dayroom there and grabbed a quick shower and nap. We went to McDonald's to get a snack and it was crazy expensive! We got one medium coke and one medium fry to share and it was $8. The dollar isn't worth much there!

Well, that's all for now. We are excited about our first day in Taiwan tomorrow, and will post our adventures tomorrow night! Thank you again for your prayers, and please continue to pray for safe travels and protection for us!
