Just in the nick of time, my lovely broker Tiffany of SmartLA Realty has found someone to lease my loft. The final price, for those of you who were betting — $5,250 a month for 16 months. Not as high as I would have liked, but still fits my budget nicely. At the end of the day, my adventure is a go, and I'm a happy camper!
Now it's time to get my ass in gear and get the heck out of dodge! EVERYTHING MUST GO! I've decided not to get a storage unit, and that means I've got to sell everything I've accumulated over the last 5 years in the next week. Whew!
In addition, I've learned that I need to get a visa from the Indonesian consulate in advance. Unlike Scott and Jessie, who can get 30-day visas on arrival, I'll need an official visa to be able to extend my trip later. Passport photos today, paperwork on Tuesday, and I should get it just before I depart the following Thursday. No prob.
