Lay over in Taiwan

After a 16 hour flight we had a 15 hour layover that was much appreciated. The flight wasn’t awful but the last 2hours was a lil rough, we got up early 2am and 4am , time change is pretty noticeable here. We ate a free buffet at the hotel which had no “traditional breakfast” foods on it.

Scrambled eggs cold fungus just doesn’t sound appetizingI hope this isn’t rude. We met up with Luann today at the Taiwan airport. The airport was the most beautiful airport. I have ever seen. Pictures can’t even explain. 

Getting coffee at the coffee shop and this looks delicious. No Starbucks?!?!?! Yes these are all real flowers! Smelled heavenly.

Ok where are we going?? My little secret is that Luann was already at our gate and told us which one to go to. :)  There are a couple of these around.up up and away! We had a bit of fun waiting on our flight. The waiting areas in this airport are extraordinary! Never seen anything like it. glass flowers We are boarding 3 hours to Thailandi have some cute feet :) 

Surprise! Your getting 2 blogs today. The airport was too amazing not to share.

Arrived at JFK airport in New York , glad we left early due to long lines and extended wait times. This was security wrapped around 2 walls. 

There’s the beast we will be on. 

Watch out here come the Gypsies!! 

one of our many meals. We definitely did not starve on this flight. 

Sleep? Are you kidding?? We watched movies, listened to music, played games and self entertained ourselves.

I see Barrow Alaska!! Heading due north to fly over the Artic @ 500 mph! 

20 hours and 8000+ miles later!! We are tired, cranky and sore but we have arrived safely and into our hotel room for the night.
