Ready to board flight BR018: TPE - SFO



You know you're in Asia when the nursery room has Hello Kitty all over it.

This damn typhoon is considered the biggest so far this year. Some friends were worried that I wasn't going to make it out of Taiwan in this weather. The car service showed up at 4:30 pm to take me to the airport. It was a Mercedez Benz Brabus and the trunk had plenty of space to fit my large suitcases. I arrived at the airport in 35 minutes. To my surprise there was no line at the check-in counter. But I learned that each luggage can't be more than 23 kilos and one of my suitcases weighs 25! This new policy sucks! The luggage itself probably weighs 10 kilos. From now on I'll have to think twice about what I'm going to pack in my suitcases. That takes the fun of shopping in America away!

I have not been to the States for almost a year and I just know that it's going to be lots of fun and then some!
