Please give the page time to load!
The Trip took almost exactly 22 hours to make.
I left Dallas/Fort Worth Saturday morning at 9:15
and arrived Taipei at 9:45 pm SUNDAY evening.

I head home tomorrow (Thursday). I leave at 11:00 am,
fly for 23 hours and get into DFW at 6:00 pm the same day.
Promises to be a loooooooonnnnnng day.
Really enjoyed the trip, although most was business, I
did solve many of the problems I was having with the
project. I am scheduled to make 3 or 4 more trips over
here in the next six months. Taiwan is an ancient
culture that has adapted very well to the modern
world. I found even though there are millions of people
living together in such a small area, I never once felt
threatened. They are a very honorable and friendly people.
I look forward to returning.
Hope everyone who visited this web site enjoyed it
as much as I did making it, It really demonstrates the
power of information on the Internet.
