I made it!!

I finally made it to Jakarta. It feels alot like Tulsa in August....hot & muggy. I got a great glimpse of the area as we approached the airport. It definitely looks rural....rice fields, shacks, lots of people on bikes & motorcycles. The 40 minute ride from the airport to my hotel was the scariest part of the entire 48 hour journey. I didn't find my driver right away when I arrived, so I was a little nervous, but didn't let on that I was. I was approached by numerous other drivers that were at the airport trolling for people like me. I finally found my driver and felt safe going with him since he was hired by the company for which we are working. I got into the back seat and discovered I didn't get a seat belt. The driver got himself all buckled in and said no seatbelt in the back. Yikes!! The rules of the road seem to be much more 'creative' here than in the states. But I arrived safely and found my team at the hotel. My room here is actually better than what I had in Baltimore. For some reason I'm not totally surprised by that.
