Trip So Far

We got from work as usual on Wednesday and headed to dinner at the club to avoid dishes, etc.  The kids were excited, but we managed to get them to sleep while we packed up the rest of our things.  They were out in a manner of minutes though they told us they were excited.  We got them up by just before 10 pm to head out to the airport.  Both were completely out and hard to rouse.  Then we drove to the airport. Dave dropped us off with all the bags while he parked the car at work and cabbed in.  We met up with my uncle then Dave to check bags. Bee felt free checking all the big bags.  We had lots of time to walk around he empty international terminal.  The kids did some worksheets and read before we boarded.  Dave, Brandon and my uncle were in one row, and we were behind them. Peyton didn’t want to sit next to the stranger, so I did. This lady ended up keeping her light on most of the dark flight and moved around more than our kids out together. She had OCD with her blankets and elbowed me through the night. Peyton stayed awake until after our first meal was served then took nap number one.  She did for about 2-3 hours, and I did my best though the lady worked against me.  Peyton woke up and watched a movie on the headset in front of her seat. Then she wanted dried squid that I brought. I thought it might be too stinky so I convinced her to nap again before eating the chestnuts I bought.  She did, and she slept for another two hours.  She woke up and immediately asked for the chestnuts.  She was up for good for the rest of the flight while I was in and out of sleep.  We landed early in the morning in Taipei and had a few hours before our connection.  This was enough time for Dave to find a food court at 7 am. He ordered soup and xiao long bao. Peyton loved it while Brandon said he wasn’t hungry. I got some sweet tofu and  shared that with Brandon. We walked around and found hello kitty stuff, including a cost prohibitive MJ set!!  Finally we were ready to board.  The next flight, Peyton fell asleep on her own.  She was in the middle seat as I’d had enough. The window lady asked me to change with her, but after Dave translated for me, I answered her in my limited Mandarin đŸ˜€, declining the request.  We landed in Singapore and got our baggage without incident. We headed to the hotel where my parents were already checked in.  They were in my aunt and uncle’s room waiting for their own room to be ready.  We waited a few hours before we settled in to shower up and head out.  We met up in a food court with Kathleen, Owen and Ellie.  Peyton ate again while Brandon nibbled a bit. She’s turning into an Asian foodie, having selected all the Asian options on our flight while I’d gotten the Western counterparts.  She had congee for breakfast, pork mei fun for lunch, and pork and rice for dinner for our plane meals.  We tried dragon fruit and are in search of mangosteen and wax apples.   Tim met up with us at the food court, so we were able to catch up a bit before we left to get the kids napped before our main dinner.  The plan was to head out to dinner with nine of us, but my parents came back just in time.  Our kids were snoring, so my mom came down to take over watching them while we headed out. When we got to the restaurant, Kathleen, Spencer and Tim were all waiting and were just as surprised to not see our kids as we were not to see theirs.  So five of us caught up on life. Tim is now an organic farmer in Bangkok, but he’s in town for a conference staying with a friend.  His farming business is of interest to Kat and Spencer’s food and beverage business. After dinner, we headed to their office to see their “test beverage kitchen”.  We had coffee to refuel as well as a taste of what spirits they had. We then headed out for another round of drinks at a bar nearby but said bye to Tim who had an early start at a conference.   Kat and I enjoyed fruity drinks while Dave and Spencer had their own.  We stayed out until midnight before returning to relieve my mom who went back to her own room.  The kids half awoke in the transfer and Peyton looked at my mom and said, “Hey, I didn’t know you were here! When did you get here!”   She fell back asleep and then all of us slept until the morning.  They slept for over twelve hours while we got a decent 6 in.  One of the practices I’ve started for the trip is to take a current daily picture of each kid in case they got lost.  Morbid I know but hopefully not needed.  Here’s our first round…before we even left the airport
