One week to departure date!

One week to departure! Very busy at work and at home getting things set to leave. Jiasong and TaiMing will leave not long after me and go directly to Taipei for about 5 weeks, with a short stay in Hong Kong along the way. Just about have all the tickets to travel still 3 to go. This is the most complex itinerary I have ever traveled: Vancouver, Taipei, Bali, Dili, Bali, Kuala Lumpur, Kolkata, Guwahati, Tawang, Jhamtse Gatsal, Tawang, Guwahati, Kolkata, Kuala Lumpur, Taipei, Vancouver and then back home March 20th! Really only three main stops but a lot of short legs along the way. Dili in Timor Leste will be from Feb 18 to March 1st, Jhamtse Gatsal in Arunachal Pradesh, India from about March 2nd to March 12th and Taipei, Taiwan from then until back home. I need all the luck I can get because one late plane departure and it could make for a cascade of other flights not working out. The biggest risk is on the way back home from India where the helicopter over the Himalaya on the far eastern side of Bhutan is notoriously late. Last year we waited about an hour. Wish me luck!
