Well after months of planning, last minute stress and a teary melt down - honestly I was doing really well until that point - we got to Gatwick, said our last 'goodbyes' (or 'see ya laters') and headed off. Relaxed and excited we causally strolled through departures, only realising we were missing our on-ward boarding passes! Cue lots of stress and running. A quick ticket reprint at the gate relieved our panicked and pacing hearts. Phew! The flight was 'grand' and soon enough we landed in Taoyuan Airport in Taiwan...and it's epic!
