Introduction

We received final approval to travel to Taiwan this week! Now we're busy booking plane tickets and finding hotels to stay in. We'll be leaving April 4 from Chicago and probably flying through San Francisco to Taipei. We'll arrive in Taipei the morning of April 6 and will spend that day seeing Taipei. We'll then take the high-speed train to Tainan on the 7th. We will officially be united with David Yueh-Chien on the 9th, but we're hoping we can visit the St. Lucy's orphanage on both the 7th and 8th to meet with him. We hear that he is very scared of strangers and so we want him to get to know us a little before we suddently take him away from the only world he's ever known. We'll travel back to Taipei on the 9th for a consulate appointment on the 10th. We will return to the U.S. on the 12th.

We will post here periodically before we travel to give us some practice! And we'll post here as much as possible from Taiwan to keep everyone posted on our journey.
