Going for Lebaran Idul Fitri in Jakarta

Hi, i guess tomorrow will be another journey to me. Actually, after 3 months in Papua for my assignment here, it started to got me bored, and September 11th is the celebration day for all moslem in whole world, Idul Fitri 1431H, so i really wanna be with my family at that time. But i'm thinking it will so wasted if i just flying straight to jakarta from sorong, in fact the airplane obviously will transit in makassar, then it came to my mind that this trip to go home will be just another journey for me.

From sorong i will take flight to makassar, spend a night there, then fly again to jakarta at night. So i'll got a chance to see and explore makassar city since i've never been there before (all this time just transit in their airport but not the town). When it is time for me to go back to sorong, i will take a flight that go to manado, then fly again from there to sorong, but that time, i will spend 6-7 days in manado, cause i want to take diving course there and cross to Bunaken Island that my father always told me since i was a kid.

I have planned it very well, and the total price for the flights seem to be cheaper than if i take flight directly from sorong - jakarta and jakarta - sorong. So..it really nothing to loose, hehe :)

At August 30th i will fly by merpati airlines to Makassar, stay the night, then at august 31st fly again by the same airlines to Jakarta, i will arrived in Cengkareng at late of night. For the going back trip to where i work, i'll take direct flight to manado using Batavia air by September 30th, and fly again to Sorong using Merpati Air at October 6th.

So this trip for me to celebrate Idul Fitri with family take me to the place i've never been there, Makassar and Manado, those 2 cities are some of many must have visited cities in Indonesia. I get so exciting, i also had planned my itinerary there, where i'm going to stay, place to eat, the interensting places to visit, the transportation, and for the map, i'll be using my google maps in my Samsung Jet mobile phone :)

The one thing that i regret is i'll be travelling alone, since there're no friends of mine that come home at that day. it's so unfortunate because travelling by 2 or more will reduce the budget, hehe, and obviously more fun. well, but it's alrite, no friends doesn't make me afraid to travelling and satisfy my des to see Indonesia, my beautiful country.
