Well, the day finally came. I woke up, dawned my rotary apparel, and headed for the airport. The picture is of me standing in front of not the airplane I boarded, but the airplane next to the one I boarded. I'm publishing this blog post from LAX right now, so everyone back home who is reading this, I've gotten this far! Thanks to everyone who made this trip possible! I can't wait to get into Taipei!
