The Voyage Begins

I'm sitting in a hotel in Taitung, Taiwan, having left my home for good. Yesterday (sort of - it's all so complicated with time zones...) we flew up and away from Vermont through cotton-candy clouds that peppered the sky, making the departure almost magical in its perfection. We fulfilled our family description once again and got to the plain in the nick of time: 30 minutes before the flight left. (I hope to cure this addiction to lateness, but I'm not sure how much success I'll have) After that, though, most things went well.
Have I gone over the general plan yet? It's this: I'm going to Taiwan for 10 days with my family, who are spending the year there to give my 8-year-old sister, McKinley an international experience (their blog: adventurejames.blogspot.com). I'm helping them find a house and make it a home and see their schools (my dad's a teacher and teaching English in 5 schools in Taitung) and get a car, etc. Then my mother is flying with me to Italy for a few days to do the same (minus the car part...sigh)

I'll write more later, I'm really tired.
