Hey all,
Well, it looks like I will be home a week or so early. My friend Cheryl ended up losing her passport at the last minute, so our entire trip has now been cancelled. :( Yes, I'm disappointed, but God knows best, and apparently, I wasn't supposed to go. I can deal with that. I've been busy trying to cancel hotel reservations and air flights (stupid Air Asia!) and just figuring out what to do.
I contemplated continuing by myself, but that's just no fun (and my family would kill me). I mean, I could totally do it and figure everything out, but how boring. I mean, Disneyworld in Hong Kong by myself--welcome to loserville! :)
Anyway, I've been at the travel agent and airport trying to change my flight home. After several attempts to call China Air (an airline which I do not recommend, by the way), I finally finagled my way onto standby for the Taipei-LA flight after speaking to an employee at the airport. It's not guaranteed, but it's something. The travel agent told me all flights on Air China were full--for the entire month--which I so did not believe. It won't cost me anything to change the date, which is good considering I'm now paying for parts of a vacation I can't take . . . but I may have to change my port to San Francisco or even Seattle if needed. Sigh. Please pray that everything works out!
On to happier things. The hotel I booked in CM for Cheryl and me is just beautiful. I couldn't cancel the reservation (must be within 7 days) so I decided to go anyway. Kris and Sara came with me, and we've really been enjoying this incredible oasis. The service here is exceptional--for example, last night we were coming home from the Night Market, and it was raining. We only had like 3 feet to walk in the rain, but the staff came running with umbrellas. And this morning we had breakfast in our room, which is just gorgeous. I want to take the bathroom sink home with me! We have decided to stay another night in this paradise--the change of scenery has been nice.
Ok, that's all for now. I'll post some pics soon. Again, please pray that everything works out and I won't be stuck in Taiwan!!!!

If you can't get out by using your feminine wiles, let me know! I'll call Mark Darcy and he can extradite you or something :) Beautiful Zana!
What a bummer about coming home early but you've had a great vacation.Mike and Debbie have said that San Fransisco is a better and easier port than LA anyway, you might consider that. I'll continue to pray for a safe journey home.
