annnnndddd go!

So, these trips usually start with last minute packing and running around. It usually involves a lot of yelling ("DAMNIT WHERE IS MY *insert random, probably necessary object*!?!?!"). This year we left 2 hours late. Oh yeah, and the entire trip takes 24 hours going from Cape Girardeau all the way to Kaohsiung in Taiwan. To put this into a little more imaginable perspective we left our St. Louis hotel this morning at 6am and won't get to Taiwan til 9pm the NEXT day. Right now we are just killing time at our Chicago layover.
