Ilene emailed Robert, to say . . .

I'm here-- it's 1:30pm Friday here. We just got in and I'm firing up the laptop. We are at the The Palace Hotel after all, with wireless internet in the room--actually there is supposed to be wireless on the executive floors above us, but I correctly guessed that I could pull in a signal anyway. So we're cheating a bit, but it's working.

We left LAX almost 2 hours late. Got into Taipei 2 hours late, but the connecting flight was waiting--no point sending it half empty, since half of our first plane had that connecting flight. That was the only hitch, really--we sailed though customs faster than we ever have. Thuan's cousin was waiting for us to say hi. We're grabbing a shower and some food now, then we'll head out to try and get cell phones set up. Its 92 degrees and humid.
