Made it !

Hello all.
I made it to Taipei. I'm in a hotel in downtown. Tomorrow I'm planning to buy a train ticket to allow me to travel around the island. I've got only four minutes before the guy at the front desk kicks me off the computer !
I've been trying in vain to contact the A-hole that is supposed to have my climbing permit. We won the lottery to get the permit about a month ago. He's been emailing me but hasn't told me where to meet him. It's only two days away and I'm starting to freak out. If it doesn't work out, I'll be very disappointed, but it's not the end of the world. There are a lot of non-permit mountains to climb - I'll just have to seek them out.
That's it for now. He's coming to get me !!!
Later.
Kevin

Kevin,
Some of the best things that happened to me during my travels happened because something else fell through. Crappy luck often turned into serendipity - as I hope it will for you. Don't give up on all youth hostels - go for the ones that have private rooms, if you can find them - of course, that's what I intended when I got to Africa, and I gave up on youth hostels!! YUCK!

Have a blast and get high on the world!
