From one natural disaster to another

This weekend we met up with Aaron and Sarah in Taipei, and will be picking up my parents tonight at the airport. It is a bit hot and humid, but bearable. Tomorrow, we are headed to Kenting on the southern tip of the island. Beautiful place and I've been there before. We have a house for everyone and just can't wait to relax for a bit.....but

Typhoon Fengshen "Frank" is on its way! Yes, after being around the U.S. flooding natural disaster, Lo-Lin and I have made our way into the path of a typhoon. Seriously. If you look at the previously linked map - it is expected to hit the southern tip of Taiwan island about Tuesday morning at 9 AM. Wonderful. Aaron is excited - "How often do you have a chance to experience a typhoon!?" No one really knows which way Fengshen will twist, but the odds are that we will be hit a bit, but not head on. But who knows.

Until next time

Hey,

I just checked the blog...looks like a great trip has just begun. I'll be following. I booked by travel to Amsterdam, I arrive on July 8. Let me know when you'll be in the neighborhood and I'll train it down to Belguim to grab a trappist beer with you two. Also...don't let Sarah blow away in the wind! I laughed out loud when I ready your comment about aaron.

Enjoy the week...stay dry and safe. Later, Jeff
