Holiday Getaway From Jakarta

(Maria) Hi, Miree. I've just found out about your awesome blog!

Since you seem to know a lot about everything, you may be able to help me. My mother in law is coming from Brazil for Christmas and my husband and I would like to make a trip somewhere close to Jakarta (could be by plane) with her and our son who is 5 months old.
We've been living here for only a month and we don't have a clue where to go. We would love to spend some quite time at a beach, but we need an affordable baby friendly place. Do you have any tip? Thank you.

(Miree) Dear Maria,

Apologize for took me awhile to reply your questions.

Travelling with baby and your mother... I would suggest you to visit WhatsNewJakarta.com on their holiday getaway - normally they listed few recomendations.

I would suggest you to go :

Without plane : Pelabuhan Ratu or Anyer

With plane : Yogyakarta, Lombok or Bali.

Goodluck!

Thanksgiving and Veterinary Clinic

( Sonia ) Hi Miree, My husband and I, with our young dog, relocated to Jakarta in early October. We have been living between Jakarta and Puncak for 1 month, we spend most time in Puncak due to the climate. I would like to have someone cater our Thanksgiving Dinner to our home in Jakarta. Back in the States, I always cook the complete meal myself. Here, I don't have the kitchen nor the equipment to do that. I came across a contact from your 2008 blog about Thanksgiving Dinner....

Is this contact still good?

Also will you please tell me more places to do American grocery besides Kem Chicks, Ranch Market and Carrefour. I am an avid cook and baker so would like to know more places that sell ingredients for cooking and baking. Also do you know of a good veterinary Clinic in Jakarta?

Thank you beforehand and I have added your blog in to my favorite.

Happy Thanksgiving!
