We flew into Jakarta on the eve of the 26th. The flight was delayed 2 hrs, but we made it by 12:30 am.
As we strolled through visa applications the customs guy was like "when are you leaving"... "you know 10/15 days" I respond. "what do you mean? You don't have a departure ticket?" the guy asks. "shit"... Well I didn't say that out loud but Sam and I both had that look on out faces. Fortunatelly the guy was cool and was all, "I'll make an exception this time, but next time, you'll need a departure ticket."
(breakfast at the airport, the coffee was Aweful!!)
We really lucked out. Sam lay it on me good as we walked away. From now on, he can do the talking.
Sam and I had heard not the greatest things about Jakarta and are in a bit of a rush to get to Bali. We made a last minute decision to sleep in the airport in hopes of buying tickets to get to Bali (our initial plan was to take a 26 hour bus).

Now we are in Bali. It's touristy and expensive--seems like a better spot for a vacationing family (there is a lot to do here) or a honeymooning couple (who want to spend money--the high end seems to be lovely). We are staying in Sanur Beach at a small hotel with a salt water pool (my new favorite thing). We are going to spend one more night here, despite the high sticker prices. I just can't handle another travel day. I'm pooped. Tomorrow, beach and unlimited soda waters! Then off to voulentteer.
