We Made it Here, TAIWAN !!!

Guess what?! We made it. After near two years of preparation, 1023 e-mails and numerous phone calls (most of them are international), we made it here, Taiwan. We can't say it's all smooth, someone booked the ticket with wrong name, and has to flight in tomorrow (Tuesday. Don't worry, I gave her very detailed instruction how to catch the bus to city and how to find our hotel etc.); one guy forgot his board pass in the mans room of O'Hare; someone's flight got cancelled and has to fly the next flight. He ended up arriving one hour late. However, we are here. Now every one is sleeping in their won room (I hope so) at Chientan Youth Activity Center (GPS coordinate: 25° 4' 40.59" N, 121° 31' 26.18 E). Tomorrow, we will start our tour. good night everyone, good night moms and dads and brothers and sisters, friends and family. We will have a wonderful day tomorrow.

By the way, Genes finally made it here,one day late.
