our trip in Taiwan {for you detail-loving folks}

Now that you know about our travel days (see this post and this post), here are the details I can share about what happens in between.

I'll tell you a lot about the in-between in future posts - after and even during the trip - so I won't give you every tidbit here. Plus much of our schedule will be made up day by day, so I don't even know what it is yet!

We'll have three days in Taitung (pronounced tie-dong), which will include: meeting Zoe, keeping her with us at our hotel, going to the Department of Household Registry to formally change her address from the children's home to our home, possibly meeting her birth mother (most families have this opportunity, but it's iffy at this point for us; we're praying it will work out, though), attending the church pastored by the husband of the missionary family we know and love there (including a baby dedication prayer time for us and two families from Nashville who will also be there to bring home their babies), and checking out Zoe's birth city.

We'll then have three days in Taipei, which will include: picking up translated documents, being interviewed by US officials at Zoe's visa appointment, picking up Zoe's visa, and doing touristy stuff (planning to eat at neat places, visit a temple, maybe go to the zoo, go to Taipei 101 which was the tallest building in the world from 2004-2010, try not to get lost on the metro system, maybe go to a museum... we'll see!). 

And that's the trip!
