I was supposed to be there right now (this very moment) but my mother had a fall and that forced me to postpone the trip (she's fine but she needs someone with her round the clock).

TSA cleared me bringing my straight razor in checked baggage, anyone do the same? How did you pack it?

Once on Java I plan to stay in Jakarta and take a 1 day boat trip to Anak Krakatau....has anyone done the same?

Any forum members live in Jakarta, we could meet for lunch.
