Adventure to Sampit (Lead: Koh Gwan Liong)

Dari Sampit ke Pangkalan Bun hanya 3 jam; jadi bisa ditentukan apa mau shopping di Sampit, lalu besoknya (Minggu) baru ke Pangkalan Bun, atau langsung malam itu juga ke Pangkalan Bun atau Kumai (Pangkalan Bun - Kumai hanya 10 menit). Bisa negotiate small bus / van on the spot, tergantung berapa banyak yg mau turut.

Banyak losmen/hotel di Sampit, Pangkalan Bun maupun Kumai, jadi that is not an issue at all.

Dari Kumai kita akan naik klotok ke Tanjung Puting & vice versa.

Tergantung mau berapa lama di Tanjung Puting, pulang nya open dapat fly dari Pangkalan Bun daily ke Semarang atau Jkt, mungkin malah Surabaya:

Flight reservation and Luggage
To reserve/ block the seat please advice us name/s at least 1 week before.Most destination is small airport accept
for Balikpapan and Banjarmasin no dependencies.
Pangkalan Bun have flight dependencies but you can get pangkalan bun from Semarang or Surabaya. Most of the flight in between Kalimantan in only allowed 10kg. bigger airplane allowed until 35kg

Ke Semarang of Jakarta kelihatan nya ada paling sedikit 2 flt tiap hari (50 org per flt).

Pun yg mau berangkat dari Jkt bisa booking dewek, ketemu kita di Kumai atau Pangkalan Bun (to be agreed when/where).

Harap yg mau turut memberi tahu nama nya dan berapa orang. Siapa yg base di Surabaya mau turut, dan volunteer utk kumpulkan nama2.

PS: Jangan lupa bawa sepatu, sebab kalau tidak ditolak masuk dancing hall kapal Pelni for night entertainment (enforced: good for them, saya pernah ditolak sebab cuma pakai sandal Arab, walau tinggal 1st class: good for them, punya policy, di enforce zonder pandang bulu).

Utk kelas 1 & 2: Harga kapal Pelni sudah termasuk breakfast, lunch & dinner (jadi sebenarnya very2 reasonable) + night entertainments di dancing hall. Yg Economy class saya gak tahu.

Update 1. Nov. 2008:

Ada 3 Alternatives to choose from (will go with max no of people interested):

Original Plan: Berangkat 14 Nov, kembali open up to you (di design utk yg bekerja, spy minimize vacation time).

Sayang harinya tubrukan dg Program edukasi IKA: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/alumnistlouis/message/42216

yg saya understand sangat penting juga utk banyak members.

Tapi utk itu saya sediakan 2 alternative lain, but cost you more vacation time, kecuali utk yg sudah manula.

Alternative 1: 10-14 Nov 2008 (tempo nya mepet)

Alternative 2: 11-15 or 16 Nov 2008 (best time for Jody & I)

ACARA (detailed lihat EMail2 dibawah) di kapal Pelni:

Networking antara sesama alumni belajar pengalaman masing2; kayak webvertising, this pioneering work in new global Advertising, plus international engineering: USA, Europe, Middle East.

Ditambah hanya special utk this trip pengalaman Jody: US & international environment health issues & expreiences, dan Pam: US & international nursing experiences.

Malam nya bisa karaoke & belajar dancing (Poco2) dll, besides listening to LIVE MUSIC.
Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner included for 1st & 2nd class passengers.

Beli ticket dewek2 via your own Travel Agency atau direct ke Pelni. Kita ketemu kapal.

Di garansi belajar banyak dan a lot of fun, plus value of networking with other Alumnis.

Utk generasi yg muda; we understand kalian mungkin harus tinggal di economy class, maka ditawarkan menggunakan bathroom facilities di kamar2 yg lebih senior, yg tinggal di 1st or 2nd class cabins. Yang valuable khan networking nya, dan belajar experience dari seniors + this time only bonus: Additional pengalaman from our best friends: Jody & Pam.
