It seems like every couple of days, our in-country itinerary changes. At this point, I think - but don't quote me on this - we've got a winner.Our last plan called for us to stay in three different hotels over 7 days, dragging our luggage all over the island of Taiwan on every mode of transportation except an oxcart. The current plan has us staying in one, possibly two, hotels, with the majority of our luggage remaining in Taipei.
Here's the game plan:
Friday, February 29th - 7:40 a.m. Fly out of Philadelphia to Taipei via San Francisco
Saturday, March 1st - Check into The Agora Hotel in Taipei (photo in the upper left) around 11:30 p.m., Taiwan time
Sunday, March 2nd - Check out of The Agora, leave most of our suitcases in their storage unit. Board the high speed rail (photo way down at the bottom) with a small suitcase and head to the last stop, Zuoying. Hop a ride to my grandfather's house in Pingdong. Stay overnight at his house or at The Tayih Landis hotel in Tainan (photo below), an hour away from Pingdong.
Monday, March 3rd - Go to St. Lucy's in Tainan to pick up William (yay!). Visit and tour for a few hours, then get back on the high speed rail and return to The Agora in Taipei. Reunite with our luggage.Tuesday, March 4th - 8 a.m. Go to AIT in Taipei to apply for William's visa.
Wednesday, March 5th - Return to AIT to pick up his visa. Hopefully no problems will ensue.
Thursday, March 6th - Say goodbye to my parents, who will remain in Taipei for another week. Board a taxi for the airport and around 11 p.m., Taiwan time, climb back on to the plane with William and make the long journey home.
Friday, March 7th - 6:09 a.m. - Arrive in Philadelphia, drive for 45 minutes until we get to our house, and stumble through the door.

Whew! I'm tired just after reading that itinerary!
I hate to throw a monkey-wrench in your Big Plan...but pick-up day is MONDAY MARCH 3rd....not 4th. I think you just got off a day somewhere....not that it changes the general gist of your schedule!
I agree with Sarah, that made me tired too... :)
Sounds like a good plan.

Your first picture is the picture of our hotel room :) You'll love the Agora, the staff are very friendly and the hotel is really nice.
It's almost here :) I can't wait to see pictures of the big day.
Sounds like a great plan!! Can't wait to see the pictures!
