Yeesh. We’ve learned our lesson. Never ever take a four am flight when you’re leaving the States to fly back to Asia. We are so incredibly jet-lagged and ass-backwards that we can barely stand. Add 36 hours of flight and travel time to the mix just to get to Bangkok and presto – you have two very stained, tired and bitchy travelers boarding their last flight to take them home to Taipei.

I can’t tell you how much we are looking forward to our own apartment and our own bed after living out of backpacks for the past three months. The vacation is over. It was fabulous and we are ready to get back to the grind. But, not before a long long nap.

John and I finally decided to take advantage of some of our airline miles and upgraded ourselves to business class, which is where I’m writing you now. Ah, it’s nice to live the life of luxury every once in awhile. This is the last leg of our journey. Four hours to go and we’ll be setting down in Taiwan for another year of fun, adventure and laughs. Taiwan, here I come!
