Grace的進修雜記:)

經過漫長的飛行，加不停轉機，我回來囉！
只是因為回程舊金山機場停止起降，所以我被轉到西雅圖(--本螺旋槳飛機班機只有12個乘客)，再轉飛東京，然後又在東京轉機回高雄，
還比原訂時間少3小時到高雄！

我覺得加入航空公司的累積里程是不錯的唷!

為了讓我早點調回時差，吃過午餐後Ray決定開車載我去晃晃，想想從去年喝過同事喜酒後就沒再去旗津了，所以說走就走我們去旗津散步吧！
以往我們到旗津只是從鼓山搭渡輪過去，後來有了真愛碼頭我們試過搭真愛輪到紅燈碼頭再轉公車到熱鬧的小吃街，這次是我們自行開車前往，剛好用過餐的人已離開，我們沒有遇到大塞車。
一到風車公園停好車，已經看到很多人在草坪上放風箏，並有些人騎單車在附近閒逛，讓我覺得高雄的午後也是有悠閒的時光，本來有點愛睏的我邊拍照邊和Ray聊天，原先他想買個風箏讓我享受放風箏的感覺，但是我想我應該只會不停的去撿起地上的風箏吧！所以就沒有浪費錢啦！

In my schedule of 2007 NOV’9th , I need to fly to SFO→TPE→KHH，but I can’t fly to SFO, so United airline help me to change my fly plan , then it’s my 1st time to be in SETTLE, it’s a busy airport, and the store near gate, so I have time to buy some products for my mother, also there is some restaurants in this area, I am so happy to be in Settle.
我在2007年11月九日應該要一早從玻特蘭飛舊金山在經台北轉高雄，但舊金山無法起降，所以我就在聯合航空的安排下先搭小飛機到西雅圖在經東京轉回高雄。這是我第一次到西雅圖轉機，在gat12e與gate9間有餐廳、化妝品店，旅行用品…，一到西雅圖打電話給在cheney的妹妹，她還開玩笑說叫我從西雅圖轉去找她好了﹝因為一樣都在華盛頓州只是距離頗遠﹞，又打電話給在hood river的ㄚ嬤報告一下就要準備搭國際線的飛機了，看看口袋還有剩下一些美金，所以我決定衝進duty free的彩妝店幫媽媽買些雅斯蘭黛，雖然台灣正在週年慶，不過在美國買這個品牌還是很划算！
其實我一從小飛機下來後就應該不要亂跑──很快就要登機了，不過我第一次到這個機場，所以還是到他們的化妝室參觀一下才乖乖的去排隊等登機！還算不錯的轉機地點啦！

This is my 5th time to be here!It's a good place, since I was a senior high school student, I knew my host family, and they are so friendly and nice to me, so I keep in touch with them,
this time I took my days off to visit them!
It's fall , so I feel a little cold when I go outside~!But so far so good!

It's my 5th time to visit my host family!
This time is color changing season!
I like to be here , it's different color so beautiful!So happy to get days off then fly to US again!

Here is fall , it's cool in the morning and night , but I don't need to worry about that , I am so happy that outside --- sun shine!
It's good view in Hood River!
I am so happy to go shopping here again!

When I prepared to go to US, my sister started to write a list for me to bring some stuff to her, finally I decided to bring more stuff to her, if I can’t put too much clothes into my suitcase, I can hand carry my clothes, that’s not a big deal!
此回到US是經過不到一個月的時間決定並著手準備，於是在美攻讀研究所的妹妹開始LIST-----她需要的台灣用品※及食物☆，當我發現我要去的地方只有攝氏八度左右，我開始取捨到底是要幫她多帶些東西，還是我要幫自己多帶些禦寒的衣服，最後決定要多幫她帶點東西，若我的衣服真的放不下就當隨身行李攜帶囉！最後她的東西分別放置在我被限重每個22kg的行李箱中，整理行李時我想我的行李箱裡仍要用些衣服保護她的保養品，免的到時行李被拖運時打破了就枉費我幫她帶那麼東西來US了。

After transfer-Kaohsiung-TaiYun-SFO-PDX---I am home again!
A little jet leg during SFO to PDX!
But I am fine!

My memory in Hood River SEP'2001
As the plane landed at PORLAND air port , I started to worry about── we have 7 years not to meet each other , did they remember to take me home ？ Would I be forgotten in air port ？In fact, I don’t need to think too much, because they remember to bring me home.
I wasn’t suffering from jet leg, so when I wake up, my host family and I went out for breakfast, I thought that my vocabulary wasn’t enough, but I can read the menu or they would help me. As I got my breakfast, I didn’t know that the cream beside bread is just cream. (I thought that was Ice Cream, so I ate it vary quickly.), at that time, they just looked at me, after I understood that cream was for the bread, they just laugh, so funny.

As I landed in SFO Air port, I had to transfer to PDX, and I was a little tired, when I found that the plane delay, I want to take a nap, but I worried that I will miss the plane , so I started to find something for myself to do! Took some pictures and read some books! And I also buy some postcard to send for my co-workers! Make a phone for my host family….
在舊金山轉機時因為是經過海關並提領行李後再到下一個候機室，所以經過長途飛行的我有些疲倦，甚至想要小睡片刻，但為了不要被飛機放鴿子，我開始找可以打發時間的事來做，像是拍點照片，當然有拍了些飛機也有一些自拍照，也看了些書，還買了一些明信片唷！也打了報平安的電話，我第五回的美國行拉開序幕囉！

Today I WAKE UP EARLY，一大早搭長榮由高雄到台灣桃園國際機場，然後在機場貴賓室翻報紙、喝飲料、吃點心、寫部落格...總算要轉搭1點的UA前往US，呵呵第五次前往美國耶！有特休真好！其實要一早起床搭機，對平常就早起的我不是大問題，只是要獨自一個人自助旅行難免會有些孤寂的度過飛行時間，所以我這次有帶書要在飛機上看，當然若是飛機上有想看的新片那我就不會覺得太無聊囉！

自從家裡多了小女孩後氣氛熱鬧起來，就跟大家分享一下我們家那個新成員的成長月記吧！
不久前媽媽還在說小孩七個月學坐、八個月學爬，九個月就長狗牙，而我們家那個小女孩現在正式學爬行的階段，看著正在和式房用肚子爬行的小女孩我忍不住去拉拉她的手、腳，有點難理解，明明她抓東西吃的時候手就很有力，怎麼七個月學坐OK，八個月學爬卻從肚子用力蠕動的感覺，所以只好拿起某些她愛的東西在前方誘騙她，經過一翻努力後看來她總算知道要手腳併用的前進囉！
一晃眼，她怎麼坐再螃蟹車上慢慢後退，哇哩！食物在她面前，她的外公、外婆正忙著吃晚餐，感覺到自己被忽的她緩緩的墊腳尖往後退，明明就把她放在我們視線範圍內，怎麼她已經從餐桌附近晃到客廳了。

其實一大早要起床對我這個上班族不是太大的問題，但是要等很久就....還好有貴賓室可供休息，之前在高雄是到新貴通，這次在桃園是在遠航貴賓室兩者都不錯唷!一樣去找host family!期待會有nice trip!
