Flight

The first leg of the flight started Wednesday night February 29th at SeaTac airport. We checked in with one bag each and a box of supplies each, loving packed by Tina, and one wheelchair that does not fold. Now this is going to be fun. The gate agent was only able to do one thing at a time, and Tina kept him on his feet and kept asking him question after question. I know she was just trying to ware him down, so we could get the wheelchair checked without having to pay extra. To our rescue came a wonderful baggage handler (thank you!). With that Muriel was to be driven by an service agent vie airport wheelchair through security and to the gate right up to the door of the plane. Did I forget to say Susan and I also got a fast pass through.

As for the flight it was to be long 14 hours. I thought I could at least sleep the first 3 hours... Wrong at the one hour mark, it's time to eat the first meal at 2am. The smell of the food will wake anyone from a dead sleep. Within the second hour the trays are taken away and the light are turned off to send everyone to sleep. For the next 10 hours we are left to sleep until breakfast is served. Now that the trays are cleared we have one hour left and we will have flown almost 6500 miles and a 16 hour time difference it is Friday March 2nd. Taipei here we come!
