Standing on the street in Medan, Indonesia

At Taipei, Taiwan

Cold and rainy, thought I was back home

So.......

I arrived at LAX around 6:30 pm, got through immigration, customs, got my luggage, and finally to the hotel. The hotel's "high speed internet" is NOT, so I'll post pictures after I get home. So the burning question is, how was the flight? Coming back was fast, I slept 8 from Taipei to LAX. The flight going was wiped out with this view from breakfast at Gubah Bali Resort:

Ya' Ahowu

That is the official greeting on Nias Island, located only 55 minutes by air west southwest of Medan, Indonesia. Look up Gunung Sitoli on the map and that's where I'm at. My first flight in a commercial prop-driven aircraft. It was a nice flight to the island.
Internet was off at Miga Beach Resort but we found it in town so I could post something here.
So, back to vacation......................

Update from almost down under

Wish you were here!  Bali is WONDERFUL!!!!!!!

Hmmmm, vacation or internet...............

Breakfast before arriving in Taipei

Did you think I was lost?

Ha, well no, I know exactly where I am, NOT at work!!! So in summary, the fligt was uneventful, laned in Taipei, it was cold and rainy, thought I was in Arkansas again. Arrived in Medan Indonesia around 2:45 pm local time Friday, that would be 2:45 am Friday morning in Arkansas. My friends was there to pick me up at the airport, customs and immigration was a breeze. Since my arrival it's been SOOOO much fun. Medan is a huge city, lots of traffic but it keeps moving. American drivers would not make it here trust me. Today is Sunday around 11:00 am Medan time, flight to Jakarta is at 3:15 this afternoon, then Monday from Jakarta to Bali. Not sure when I'll post again but will try as soon as I can. Internet is not really my priority right now :)

And we're off

Made it to LAX, smooth ride, napped most of the way.  Can you believe it's cold out here?  Bali is going to be sooooooooooo nice

Packing up!!!!!

The level of excitement is running 1000% this morning, as my team mates (and
a certain developer) will understand, it's in a LOOP!!
