Going to Lombok

It is Thursday. I and Nuri went to Lombok to joined the yearly gathering of ITB Civil Engineering Alumni Class 1975. Rahutama dropped us at the airport at 09:15. Pranoto was there to pass lunpia to me. He aborted to join the gathering because his wife was suddenly ill. He preferred being with her to going to Lombok, of course. So, our companions were only Zaenal and his wife.

We flew Bombardier BJ1000 of Garuda Indonesia flight ✈ GA364. It was scheduled to depart at 10:15 from Ahmad Yani Airport of Semarang SRG and arrived at 14:15 local time at the Lombok International Airport of Praya LOP. We were on seat 39K and 39J while Zaenal and wife were on 39A and 39B. I and Zaenal got off at the Juanda Airport of Sidoarjo SUB when we had transit. At this airport Wiwin joined us. The flight was relatively on time. At 14.15 the plane landed at LOP.

The organizer provided us a minibus. It brought me to join the group at the Kuta Beach. On the way there we had our lunch. The organizer provided meals on boxes for our lunch.

We joined the group in the session on the beach. We made some pictures of us. About 30 minutes we were there, then, we went to the hotel. It took time about 90 minutes.

We arrived at our hotel, the Aruna Hotel, at about 17:00. We checked in and got room 323. The hotel and the hotel room were nice.

In the evening we had dinner in the dinning hall. The organizer passed the itinerary information. They also distributed traditional coats to be used for tomorrow.
