We’re on the short countdown now until our next trip to Taiwan. Sunday we’ll be off and the transportation arrangements on the way over promise to be unpleasant. Due to repeated problems “fixing†our actual flight schedule, we ended up with a 7+ hour layover at LAX. That would be brutal in the best of conditions, but with 2 kids, it promises to be an endurance test.
We must arrive 2 hours early in Phoenix, nearly 2 hours, wait 7, then fly another 14. That’s 26 hours in transit. I can’t decide if I want to take sleeping pills with me or avail myself liberally of the free alcohol on the flight. It’s a 777-200 in the Singapore Air fleet, but it doesn’t have power outlets, so the MacBook won’t last the whole flight. (Singapore Air is upgrading the LA=>Taipei flight to have power outlets in July.)
Meantime, I’m gearing up for a multimedia extravaganza of a trip. Videos and photos, along with nauseatingly detailed blog posts will be posted regularly.
