From the logistics point of view everything is ready, I have my visas for USA and Indonesia. I also have my travel e-tickets. On Wednesday January 29th during the morning I'll be traveling to Indonesia, but there is more to it. There are a few stop points between Guadalajara-Mexico(GDL) and Jogyakarta-Indonesia(JOG).
First flight, 3hrs and a half from GDL to USA-Los Angeles(LAX), here I'll check if I can get the vaccination for the typhoid fever, in GDL it seems that it's not available, I checked with the major vaccination clinics and they don't have it and haven't had it for several months, I guess it's not that popular.
Second flight, this is the long one with 15hrs and 40mins from LAX to Hong Kong(HKG), it's time to get some new food :D I hope I find something I haven't eaten, I'll have around 3 hours before I get to the next flight and I intend to have an interesting breakfast, I'll take some pics and share them here.
Third flight, 4hrs and 50mins from HKG to Jakarta-Indonesia(CGK), it's Friday, I know! if everything goes according to plan at this point I would have around 24hrs flying, after all those hours I'm going to have the big meeting and finally see in person my team mates. Here we'll stay until Sunday, we'll visit IBM's site at Jakarta and we will meet all the wonderful people that's been helping us during the past months with all the pre-work activities, tips, etc. I'll try to get a pic with them to upload it here and show you who they are.
Fourth flight, 1hr 15min from CGK to JOG, it's Sunday, arriving at my final destination Jogyakarta where I'll live for a month, I'll do my best to help, I'll learn a lot and I'm sure this experience will change my life.
My goal is to have a new post every Sunday, I'll start adding pictures from the trip to get some color on my blog.
Alberto, if you cannot find the typhoid vaccine they also make it in pill form. It's called Vivotif Berna and is available by prescription. It is a dosage of 4 pills total, one taken every other day. The extra pills must be refrigerated, so that would be a challenge, but it's one option.
