Leaving Taipei

Corrina's flight to Hong Kong was close to our flight to Qingdao. That worked out well. It was so nice of her to fly out and see me. I wished we lived in the same city, or at least the same time zone!

We packed, cleaned up the place, and while Mom was wrapping things up, Corrina and I went downstairs to have concierge call us a cab.

Goodbye apartment! That place served us really well. Many thanks to Auntie Luo for offering it to us.



It was a comfortable ride to CKS airport along the newly-built highway. Corrina hung out with us at the food court in the departure section of Terminal 1 until we had to leave... how sweet!

She also bought a TON of food for all of us to eat.

And there I go rhyming again with a beat. Is it just me?



That girl is so freakin' considerate it kills me sometimes!

I was sad to have to say goodbye (sad!), but once I got myself a latte at Starbucks inside the terminal, I felt better (happy!).

Thank God for Starbucks I tell you.

It's been a source of great comfort throughout all of my travels over the years, including and especially this one.
