We are awaiting our flight to Pontianak after a really good lunch in the airport. And....our first, and certainly not last, experience in practicing patience: the line at check-in seemed short enough to us, but the young women behind the counter were in no hurry to get us through -- good thing we were there two hours early. We have purchased the requested two liters of liquor (Bombay Sapphire gin and Gentleman Jack Tennessee whiskey. Should make the staff happy. We did get dinged for excess baggage -- had been warned that this was likely to happen, since we are only allowed 20kg/person and we have an entire rolling duffel with stuff for the clinic. We are being met at the Pontianak airport by Pak Manto who will drive us to our hotel and then retrieve us in the morning and deliver us to the boat dock and the 4.5 hr fast ride to Sukadana, our home for the next 6 weeks. As you might expect, it is hot and humid -- guess that's what we get for being on the equator.
