Family Taiwan Tour

Two days after the birthday of my husband Lucas C. Tan, my entire family from the grandfather to the grandkids, took an early flight to Taiwan for a 5D4N vacation on July 14, 2019. We were a family of 11 persons. Thankfully we were accommodated on a tourist bus big enough for 30 people. That was the most luxurious part of the vacation for me, with WiFi connection inside the bus, plus individual charger outlet, bottles of water and a very accommodating tourist guide.

Our luxurious bus!
