I was in a cab at 5am to the airport for my flight back to Jakarta. I was a little nervous, not knowing exactly what to expect, considering all the international headlines about the flood, and Jakarta being underwater.

I got a few reassuring e-mails from Lydia, saying the house was just fine, and the streets were still mostly dry around our neighborhood.

With a lengthy layover in HoChiMinh City, my flight, which left at 7:30am, got me home to Jakarta by 9pm. All that for what amounted to about 5 hours in the air.
Taking the bus home from the Jakarta airport through Bloc M at 10pm, it was hard to see much, but the toll road & streets were mostly dry, except in one place (near the Slipi mall) where even the highway flooded out.
