Likely interesting week ahead.  First, hopefully I will see my new manager.  Although I met him 6 years ago .... its time to renew relationships ... especially at a time when an issue has emerged in my new job (job-related, not personal) that needs some management attention ASAP.

This morning I go to the Indonesian immigration office for registering and finger printing .... I remember this from 6 years ago (last time I was here).  Then in approx 1 week I should have my official work permit (hmmm, so what have I been doing since I arrived ??? vacationing).

Decy and our agent will try to move the DaVinci owner closers to closing ... while at the same time I have to ask for an extension on staying in a hotel ... I really don't want to stay longer ... but, have no choice.

Hope all goes well this week as I transfer in all the money needed for the cars and the first pass of furniture ... I think that is going to be a challenge .... but understand the company might handle a large check for me ... so working it that way too ... at least maybe 25% of what we need so we can do the down payments.

>>> Back to Sunday .... Che, Thasi, Decy and I had a wonderful brunch at 4 Seasons (aka Regent) ... lots of shrimp, oysters, salmon, noodles, stir fried, salads, sushi, sashimi and desserts.   Never did make it to the "red meat section".  Afterwards, we all fell asleep in the taxi .... then Decy and the girls went to the pool, I got a quick massage and then joined them .... none of us ate dinner .... can you imagine why?

Gotta go ....
