Road to Indonesia-- Here we go again!

 

Back to being as flexible as we need to be. I got up Monday morning to the news that hotel quarantine in Jakarta has been extended from 5 days to 8 days.(Ugh----do you know how long 8 days confined to a hotel room is?)  Also, that covid cases in Jakarta are spiking drastically. Although no official word has been shared, they have the history of suddenly closing airports (January / February and May for Ramadan). We are concerned about that. Therefore I just changed our July 26 tickets to July 12.  The only thing besides hurried preparations that are being affected is the FL portion of our trip to be with Peace. We were with her for a week in PA and VA the end of June, so we have seen her. Sorry not to make that portion, but she is being very understanding.

We just drove the two days necessary to get from MA to SC.  Now I am trying to prep all the paperwork necessary and will get up tomorrow morning early to start the foot work.  I want to be clear that this trip is not the necessity that the Dec. 31 whirlwind was.  This time it is preventative and proactive, with out being sure that we would need to, but we still felt lead to go ahead and rush through the steps necessary. 

Please pray for reimbursement of previous tickets,  timely covid testing,  the necessary purchases (like meds),  saying good by to everyone, etc. etc.   I can rest during the quarantine I guess.  The Lord is good in giving warning, strength, and joy in anticipating return to Indonesia.
