Today I managed to stuff my sleeping bag and tent into the proper compartment on my pack - so I'm ready to go. The guy who got me the permit for Yushan Mountain must be traveling, so I still don't know where to meet him. I'm starting to worry, so I'll just go get a drink and relax. Everything's going to be fine. I just have to keep telling myself that.
I leave Sunday morning. I don't have a long layover in Atlanta, so if my plane is late from Huntsville it won't be a good start. I've got a 3.5 hour layover in LA, so that gives me a little extra time if I'm lucky.
Luck is a big deal in Taiwan. I've been reading a lot about things there, and I'm going to try to remember how NOT to offend people. For example, you aren't supposed to point at a cemetery, or whistle past a cemetery. You aren't supposed to give a clock or shoes to an old person. You aren't suppose to stick your chopsticks straight up in a bowl of rice. I probably won't be tempted to do any of these things, but it is nice to know anyway.
Thanks to everyone who has offered encouragement for the trip. I'm excited and ready.
