Grandma Brown’s Celebration of Life

A family (and friends) reunion to celebrate the life of our amazing Doris Brown, my grandmother-extraordinaire.

This is my grandparent’s beautiful yard and the site of the celebration.  The flower gardens are “Doris’ Memory Garden”.

Taipei to Seattle

Boarding now.

Bad weather in Taiwan made for an even tighter connection.

But had just enough time for Jeannette to use the facilities… the Allen’s always go by the rule that if 1. You aren’t awake for it while driving through, or 2. You don’t leave the airport, then you don’t get to count that state/country… But using the facilities should at least be partial credit for Taiwan.

Now that we made our connection, here’s hoping our luggage does the same and also that the same weather doesn’t delay this flight too.

Hong Kong to Taipei

We are boarding our flight (China Airlines 642) as we type.

We got to the airport in time for a leisurely beer and were able to watch some of a soccer match in the bar.

We will post from Taipei if we get service and if we have time between our flights – our connection may be speedy.

Our flight from Taipei to Seattle is also China Airlines, flight #22.

And we’re now in our seats!
