I'm sitting at the airport ready to begin my long journey home.  The first trek will take me to Japan (7 hours) and then from Japan I will head to NYC (13 hours).  I had a wonderful time this year, and will miss all the wonderful things the local teachers are doing at SPB.  However, I am looking forward to sleeping in my own bed and eating some good old American food.

What a perfect way to end my trip - as I sit typing this, there is a clarinetist who is also waiting to board, and he is gracing us with some beautiful music.

Selamat jalan
Semoga selamat sampai tujuan

Happy travels and have a safe trip!
