an entry somewhere else

It’s time to leave. My bags are packed, my big ticket items are given away or sold. The travel agent in the US who does our tickets has told me that my domestic flight may be messed up because I changed my domestic flight myself, instead of emailing to the US to do it! At worst, I’ll have to re-buy my ticket and get reimbursed for it. So much for the movement toward paper tickets in our digital age. I can’t really reflect all that much on my time here at the moment; it’s too soon. I’ll discuss it more later, perhaps in person with some of you. For now, I need to get the rest of my stuff together and have that last bowl of oatmeal for breakfast. The next few days will be in Jakarta: saying more goodbyes, hunting down my passport so I can actually leave, storing my stuff at a friend’s, and getting ready for a short holiday. I don’t know if I’ll take the time to update during my travels (I know the readership for this blog is quite small), or even check email. Off the grid for three weeks?

Well, I have to take one more walk home and get things settled up completely.
