Tweeting...how dose it work exactly?

Well, unlike the rest of the world I really haven't got to grips with this twitter business so I'm going to leave my tweets here:

#Indonesia 8.50pm Tuesday 27 August
Searching high and low for a place to bunk down, close to the airport in Jakarta (on-line of course) Well, that's usually the case when one opts for the cheapest flight. No luck matching my criteria yet!

#Planning 9.01pm Wednesday 28 August
Have I or have I not got enough blank pages left, in my 2 year old passport? This needs carefully looking at...

#D-Day 7.31pm Thursday 29 August
4 months and 1 week until departure day. Just for a change I will not be flying via the Middle East, but changing planes in Istanbul. About 3h40 from Heathrow to Istanbul, then about 5 hours across to Kathmandu and hopefully a glimpse of Mt. Everest on the way in.

#Indonesia 10.47pm Sunday 1 September.
Well, booking a flight to Lombok from Jarkarta is proving problematic through Lion Air website, I don't know why yet! As it happens Air Asia have a promo fare tonight and so I booked that instead, but it's to Bali. Plan is to take a public ferry on to Lombok, later.

#Indonesia 10.22pm Wednesday 4th September.
Another Air Asia sale, another booking, this time leaving Bali back to Kuala Lumpur, a 2 hour flight for £44.62! So, after extensive research it seems the best and cheapest way to get around Indonesia's Islands is to start and finish in Bali.

#South Korea 8.31 pm Wednesday 11th September.
£210 return for a 6 3/4 hour flight from Kuala Lumpur to Busan on the southern tip of South Korea next May and June - it's booked! I wonder if I will bump into PSY Gangnam Style again? I hope so.....

#Air Asia Bargain 10.18am Tuesday 17th September.
Another bargain bagged with Air Asia, this time to Phnom Penh. £32 for the 1 1/2 hours flight from Kuala Lumpur, £44 back again a month later.

#D-Day 10.25am Tuesday 17th September.
it is 112 days, 2 hours and 24 minutes to getting on Turkish airways at Heathrow bound for Kathmandu, Nepal.

#Malaysia 20.52 pm Wednesday 9th October.
Just under 3 months and most of the agenda is set, except for 4 weeks mid April to mid May - that's probably going to be a tour of East Coast Malaysia, some remote Islands perhaps, maybe the Jungle Line...keep an eye on the blog!

#Indonesia 18.40 pm Monday 18th November.
Volcanos are erupting across Indonesia, unsurprising since the country is situated along the 'Pacific Rim of Fire'. A re-plan maybe necessary if the eruptions are prolonged and troublesome!
