Day 59 - Travel Home

After a quick free breakfast at the hotel, we checked out and took a cab to the airport.  Unfortunately because of the Christmas season, there were hundreds of locals/tourists flying with the maximum amount of luggage (boxes and boxes)...grrrr!

Our first leg was to fly to Taipei, Taiwan where we found free massage chairs, a lovely orchid garden, and a lot of space to stretch our legs before the big flight to San Francisco (12 hours).

Taiwan Airport Rules!

Donning my super-awesome compression hose!!

We arrived at 2:40pm (6:00am our time) and although the customs line was super short, our bags took so long to go through inspection that we missed our shuttle to Monterey...so frustrating!  We managed to get onto the 5:15pm shuttle (which was also late) and arrived into Monterey at 8:30pm!
