I’m trying to make a plan to visit Ariel in Hong Kong the weekend of Sept 28-29. It looks like I’ve got a good plan and cost. Now, I have to get Ariel to confirm that it will be a good weekend for me to visit.

My plan is this: Ride my bike to the Taichung Airport Saturday morning, Sept. 28 leaving the house about 6am. I would chain my bike to an undetermined spot and walk to the terminal (I would do a test run before hand one morning.) The flight leaves at 8:45am so I would have to check in no later than say 7am. I’d have two full days to spend with Ariel (and Alice?) in Hong Kong. I could see the sights, a comedy show with him, and go out to dinner. The flight back to Taichung leaves Hong Kong at 8:45pm so I would get back to the airport by 6:30pm or so Sunday. I’d arrive in Taichung at 10:25pm Sunday evening. I’d walk back to my bike and ride it home. I could be back in the house before midnight for a good night’s sleep. The cost to the airport in Taiwan: $0.00, plus I’d get my exercise for the two days. The airport in Taichung is a place I’ve ridden to before; about forty minutes along the Han and Tan-Zih bike trails. It would be faster than the buses which might not even be running at the times I chose.

      I’m trying to see on maps where the Taichung Airport is in relation to the Tan-Zih Bike Path. I best go there in person. The airport entrance seems to be on a route 10Z just before it hits highway #3. There’s a Jung-Shan Road before the interchange on the left that mergers with route 10 near 10Z. I just have to go there in person and see for myself. Today, since it’s already 9am, I’ll go up the Han. Maybe Monday, I’ll try to find as place to park the bicycle at the airport. My flight to Hong Kong is Oct. 5^th.
