You Are Leaving When?

Ummm... Today actually.

I originally thought I would be leaving on the 12th or 13th but things got a bit bogged down with a fleeting offer from Maple Leaf China and sorting out interviews and technical details. So with all of the emails going back and forth between me and the school contact and Visa procedures, we decided initially to go with a flight for the 20th (early early Sunday morning). But thankfully my Visa came through really fast and I was able to change my flight (with the help of my cheery travel Agent "Jackie") to very early Friday morning, a time I would consider late Thursday night. I am travelling with China Airlines and am under my baggage weight limit, which is a good thing! Mom says to do my Christmas shopping while I am there, since I will have room in my suitcases on my return flight. :)

So its a 13.5 hour flight to Taiwan, 10 hours in Taiwan and then an 8 hour flight to Surabaya (which is in the province of east java, FYI).

I am very excited and everyone has been most helpful in getting me ready to go. Its been awesome being home with my family these past couple of months and seeing friends and family of friends. Sorry If I didnt get a chance to say bye to you or give you too much notice about my leaving! See you when I get back!.
