Checked In and Waiting

We left home this morning and stopped at the schools to drop the kids off. Then some last minute instructions to the caretakers and we were off. Oh yeah, and a phone call to our next door neighbor because I did not lock the front door, thinking Tom was still going in and out. He was the last one out but he didn't lock it either. I think Mr. Calm Cool and Collected is a little anxious about this trip because I just stopped him from going into the Ladies Room at the airport.

We got to Atlanta airport around 12:30 because of a detour but still have plenty of time to spare. However with the long drive we didn't want to chance it. We'd rather wait here then have to rush. Security was a breeze. We were expecting the usual hour to get through, it only took about 10 minutes, mostly taking off coats, sweaters and shoes and putting them back on again. Checked in 4 bags all the way through to Taipei. Now we are sitting at a cafe with free WiFi.

We depart for Newark at 5pm. We then depart for Taipei at 10:30 tonight. The kicker is we don't arrive in Taipei until 7am WEDNESDAY morning (Taiwan time). It's Monday afternoon right now. Nice huh?

So, if all goes well I will not be posting again until we reach Taiwan!!
