Thank you so much! I've gone back and reread a couple of parts and sheesh! Sometimes I wonder where I found the time to write all of this. The excursion train portion was the best and easiest - I'd knock off about one train ride per day. Still, the commitment to read it in its entirety is every bit the equal of the commitment to write it all, so here's me hoisting a Russell's Reserve backatcha - though it'll have to wait until later this evening. For now, make that a cup of my favorite blend of Sumatran and Colombian dark roast -

Thanks, Yahtzee! It took me about four days to sit down with the specific intent to edit and spell check this entire report. FWIW, I feel like I made a greater effort to really do it right this time. After all, if you've spent three months composing a trip report of this length, what's a couple extra days to fine tune the overall quality? And hey - thanks for noticing. Looking back on my past efforts - this is indeed a noteworthy accomplishment.

Now then - if I can just find a First Class seat out to Tokyo and a Business class seat beyond to Jakarta next month, I might be able to also add a flight aboard the Chinese built Comac ARJ21 with TransNusa. That would be worth another trip report!
