The American student teachers had "smooth sailing" in their travel to Taiwan!  There were no delays, no misplaced luggage, and no hold-ups at the security check points!  They were very tired, of course, but they became rejuvenated when they arrived at the Kaohsiung airport late Friday night.  Their host families awaited them with anticipation, and introductions and hugs were shared all around! Each teacher met her host family for the first time.  Lots of photos were taken.  Elaney and her host sister Stacey became fast friends immediately!
