Taiwan Day9 - Home

We reached home with no delays at all.  Well in time for the "3rd 7th-day" prayers for hubby later in the day. 

This had been a surreal trip - from the normal planning and preparation, to the 'backup plan' of us having to leave hubby at home, to finally us going without him because he had already left us.  We talked about him throughout... Papa would have liked the weather as it's not that cold, Papa would have liked the food, Papa would have complained non-stop about this queue, this tour would not have been suitable for Papa, no way Papa could have walked this trail with his recent mobility level (and hubby had been so fit before the brain tumors sigh).  We remembered to get Captain Hook out for pictures. 

From an initial damp start, I got into the groove as the trip progressed.  Seeing my girls enjoy the itinerary I had put together made my step light in the morning as we left our hotel for another day out.

As usual we bought some snacks home to share with family and friends.  The loot is much less without hubby's portion as he was the biggest shopper and consumer.  Oh, now he is not here to defend himself.  Well some of the snacks he had bought from Bangkok are actually not eaten yet.
