Semi live blog:<\/p>\n

It has been 13 years since MommyMd and I went to Taiwan. Vivi was fortunate to go back with Nainai right after her 4th birthday.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

5\/2016 vivi’s first trip to taiwan<\/p>\n

Now 13 years later with a Juju, we venture back to the humid hot island of Taiwan.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

6\/2018 family trip, Vivi’s second adventure<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Waiting for the plane<\/p>\n

Up at 3 am finishing packing. Vivi and Juju we’re a little difficult to rouse but the excitement set in and we were off to the airport.<\/p>\n

First let me tell you TSA Precheck is amazing. First time using.<\/p>\n

There was a super long line to get through security, and no line at the PRE check. If you don’t have Precheck, get it!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

6am: Now that we got here super early, we got 2 hrs to wait.<\/p>\n

Might as well explore<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Exploring concourse B @CMH: family bathroom<\/p>\n

731am:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Things are getting silly now: “I’m queen of the world!” ~Juju<\/p>\n

8:13am<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

8:20am local Chicago time (9:20 in Ohio)<\/p>\n

Excited to be enroute to the next flight.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Going through that lighted path at ORD<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I used to love running through here<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Enjoying the United club. If you happen to have an extended layover anywhere, access to the United Club is very nice.<\/p>\n

9:37am Chicago time: on the plane, let’s go to SFO<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Sisters<\/p>\n

1215pm (315pm ohio) touchdown to SFO.<\/p>\n

Short layover then on the Long haul.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

And after a 1hr delay<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

225p:Ready to board<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

So grandma got upgraded to a better seat so it left a gap in our eating. Somehow I got screwed with a center seat between strangers. Yay.<\/p>\n

12hrs + of fun<\/p>\n

They look like they are having fun<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Must be nice<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Complimentary treats with the international flights.<\/p>\n

So I caved and purchased the inflight internet. I can only watch so many movies nonstop.<\/p>\n

Finished Geostorm, Justice League, 12 Soldiers, now watching Downsizing.<\/p>\n

Very hard to sleep and not end up leaning on your neigbor.<\/p>\n

The girls are splayed out and are out.<\/p>\n

I’m not even sure what time it is. I thinks it’s 1018p Ohio time. Still 9 hrs left.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

6.5 hrs left. Just finished I, Tonya and now Hostiles<\/p>\n

Done with jumanji. Less than 2 hrs left<\/p>\n

Someone just woke up<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

<\/p>\n

Less than 1 hr left.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
