Make that Tuesday night.

So I'm leaving Tuesday night. NOT WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

That was really a close one. You'd think after all the planes I've taken in my life, I would be down with double-checking my departure time weeks in advance. Oops. Once, my mom took me to the airport when my flight was really the next day. That was annoying (and stupid), but at least I didn't miss my flight. What would I have done if I had missed my flight to Taipei??!

Well, thanks Dad, for asking me to send you my itinerary. If I hadn't, I probably wouldn't have noticed, and I would definitely be screwed.

So, to bring!

Passport. Visa glued inside.

2 checked bags. One big. One smaller. One empty suitcase smooshed inside bigger suitcase for things clothes souvenirs to bring home.

Chinese textbooks. Five of them. Some pocket-sized.

Computer. Inside computer case. (Carry-on.)

Probably too many shoes. Yes, I WILL need my Converse, Keds, open-toe flats, flip-flops and running shoes. I mean duh.

Camera.

Phone, though I won't be using it.

All cords. All pluggy things.

Books. Maybe I'll buy the second book of the Twilight series tomorrow?

Sunblock, sunblock and more sunblock.

I'm nervous but really excited. Hope my mom and I don't get on each other's nerves. At least not too soon.

I can't wait to be there! Maybe my next post will be from Taipei?

Love, Kim
