We arrived safely in Tucson on Tuesday night near midnight, 2 hours “after” we left Taiwan. We had a bit of an adventure and high stress (Ben lost his wallet 3 hours before taking the bus to the airport; it’s found now and in the express mail system thanks to the folks at the Grand Hotel.) We were just in time for each flight and didn’t have more that 10 minutes to rest between any transfers with immigration (surprisingly no problems due to the missing ARC) all the customs (no problems, but time in line) moving our own baggage in LAX and then arriving in Tucson in a 50 seater plane that couldn’t fit our luggage. We did have 11 check-ins, 2 car seats (one in the plane for Elnorra) and a stroller. Our 4 remaining bags and Cordelia’s car seat arrived at my mom’s house, free of charge, the following evening. We even had a loaner car seat for the day.

We went first to Jack-in-the-Box for a midnight snack (It was on the way, open 24 hours and sounded good) We then went to Wal-mart and we now own 20 pairs each of our preferred style and color of socks!
