Sorry to keep you waiting and wondering...but, we are here and we are safe (just don't have any internet). The to Indonesia was uneventful...and any forty hour trip with four kids age five and under that is UNeventful is a very good thing. The kids were SO SO SO good and I was so grateful. They were total troopers with over 22 hours on a plane and four layovers. LOVE those kiddos.
Indonesia is great...an eclectic mix of our experiences in India and in Malaysia. We definitely feel "home" though -- further attesting to our deep rooted desire to be in Asia.
We are busy getting our house set up -- we purchased appliances and are trying to get everything else we need to carry us along until our shipment arrives in September and until we get make a house plan for how we want things set up. We love the house though...so much potential!
I am not sure when we will have internet..a few more days at least. I'll do my best to keep you updated.
Yeah--woohoo! Glad your trip was good, and that you are now where you truly desire to be! I can't wait to hear more:)

It is just surreal to me that you are THERE now! So glad it feels like home and hope that settling in goes smoothly. What a blessing to have uneventful travel! That is a miracle in itself!

Glad your trip went well Janet. That's great the kids were good on your trip. I haven't flown in almost 2 years since we took Keira to Hawaii. I don't want to do it with 2 kids, I don't know how you managed with 4. LOL!
Hope you guys get all settled in soon.
