Today started at 2:30am in Jakarta. I tried to make coffee in the room, but it was so bad. I had breakfast included and it started at 2am, but I just didn't want to make the effort.
At checkin, the ANA agent made me weigh my carryon bag but didn't give me a hard time about it. He just put a tag on it that it was approved for carryon. Thank God. I don't think I have any fight left in me.
Immigration was a breeze. Then I had a VERY long way to walk to the gate. I used one of those mini-carts and it really helped.
This was a great trip. There were very nice people on board and it was terrific to see Graham again. We didn't see as many little critters as I would have liked.
I think maybe there should be a liveaboard that only dives jetties and piers. How cool would that be?
OK, here is my summary.
68 distinct species of nudibranchs.
One enormous glassy nautilus sea elephant that got 998 likes, 28 comments and 57 shares. So many comments the moderator turned them off!
I did 27 dives this trip bringing me up to a total of 2,612 lifetime dives.
Here is a photo of most of the crew on the bow:
Once I get home, I am off to Bentonville where my sister is getting married. Then I'll be back Indonesia. I'll be back.
