Spice Islands Trip

I just returned from client's meeting in Batam couple hours ago.... so damn tired! In couple of hours I will go to the airport for Spice Islands trip managed by Sahabat Museum. I'm still packing, as usual... making last minute check-list checking (sun block, bathing suit, goggle plus snorkel, hat, sunglasses, camera, book, etc.). I'm so excited. I dreamt for this trip since last year. Below are the places where I'm going to visit and I'm ready to soak up the environment, the islands' ambience, to meet people and make new friends. Just go with the flow... *smile*
