Jakarta Indonesia seems nice if only John and I could explore, can't go further than our windows because of mandatory "vaccine hotel" on everyone entering this country. I could be jailed and deported for leaving my room, so when we arrived, we came in the back special entrance and we were taken by room service personnel to our place
In 3 more days being held inside a rather decent hotel room for the last 4 days we are eager for Bali. And as well we had come in the heals of no travel by land or sea during the Ramadan religious observance until another 7 days to Bali. We exited Jakarta on the last day and finally made it to Densapar Bali. But it was "almost worth it" And better than Singapore that can eat into funds without connections, knowledge or heavy learning how to navigate?
Hopefully, there won't be any more issues interfering with our destination to met up with an old friend/neighbor whom I've either never met or have probably drank with and forgotten and will chill in Bali diving-drinking- exploring trouble. There was a lot of partying I heard about in the 70/80/90's
Our flights back home to Cebu Philippines were canceled 5 different times and a year plus of yanking us like a yoyo by airlines plus extreme lack of sleep for basic brain function made it excruciating painful to navigate this time with flight cancellations and Covid-19 protocols and new stringent regulations. Not to mention the worlds worst travel agent and the 11 hour layover in Los Angeles but ......... THIS BONEHEAD MOVE...........
#1 SCREW UP was not obtaining our Indonesia visas prior to bookings! 😱😱😱😱
Luckily our bud David Dagley and Barb Sport Laing had me covered and a incredible rush job minutes before our flight. Not being able to stroll and catch some local culture and street food has me in a strange way as that's what I love exploring new and different countries and ways to view life through their eyes maybe for a moment, I always love to learn something from them.
It's been a wormhole of the last 3 weeks leaving our home in Mendocino California, I'm not really missing the quiet or the acreage and it's backbreaking daily responsibilities, oh and that solitude .... what I miss is my mom that passed a few months prior to Covid-19 pandemic that the genius handle so well🤬🤬🤬🤬
I feel soooooo much better about leaving USA in competent hands of this great administration and have actually stopped obsessing about the WTFJHT news that made me almost cringe about waking up with its vileness. I still do the dailies but in Bali I will stop completely I believe? You got your facts together now and no GASLIGHTING or GRANDSTANDING!
So in about 3 to 4 days I'm going on photo safari........
Take good care kiddos wherever you may be!🙏🥰🙏
