This is my room... when it's clean. I try to clean up every time before I go to Indonesia so I'll come back to a nice place after the holiday. If only this happens all year round.
I'm currently having pre-travelling anxiety where my mind keeps thinking about things that I might forget to bring or do. I've paid my bills for next month, return my friend's bike and tennis racket, get enough cash, check bank account, give car keys to roomie, bring all chargers, check and re-check passport, I20, and place ticket, clean up kitchen, give perishable food to friend, etc etc. I still need to check how much Rupiah I have, buy Cornell shirt for parents, get locks for luggages, tell roomie my car plate number, put car back in the right parking lot and *deep breaths* calm myself down. I usually have a bad dream the night before about missing the flight or not having my passport, so we'll see what my unconscious self gives me tonight.
This is also the first time that nobody's picking me up at the airport, so I'm taking taxi to my sister's place. So the plan is to land, go to money changer to get more Rupiah, get blue bird taxi, give the driver printed direction from google map to sis' place, get her room key from the guy working in the house, get in to her room, and wait til she gets back from work! If there's difficulty reaching her place, I'll go to her office instead and meet her there. If that fails, I'll give a call to Ivan in case of emergency who's kindly offered back up plan to come get me. Fail-proof plan!!
And my journey begins tomorrow with a 6 hour bus ride to JFK. I just hope all the bus seats, plane seats, and airport seats be forgiving to my behind, there'll be a LOT of sitting for sure. Ultimately of course I just want a safe trip. Home, here I come!
