Sungai Galing is a long way from Fort Worth, Texas. How far? I don't know in miles, but it's 23 hours in the air (four flights) plus a 3 hour boat ride. That's not counting the layovers in between the various flights. Let's just say it makes for a long couple of days...
I'm sitting here in the Cathay Pacific business class lounge. It was a welcome sight after the 14.5 hour flight from San Francisco. A hot shower and a shave following a full day of travel felt great. I'm thankful for status on American/One World that allows me access to the lounge. Now for the 4.5 hour flight to Jakarta!
Our team is mostly traveling separately. Chris had business in Singapore before the mission trip, so left Fort Worth on Thursday. Ronny and Lena left on Monday, Christian and Anne on Tuesday. Kirk and Todd left on Friday, like I did, only their route took them through LAX and Taipei. We'll all meet up in Jakarta this afternoon to begin The Journey -- Part Two. Stay tuned...
UPDATE: We all arrived in Jakarta and will spend the night there before heading off in the morning to Pontianak (via air) and the long boat ride to Sungai Galing.
