Skip navigation! Story from Travel Diaries. Last Updated October 17, , PM. Welcome to Travel Diaries , a Refinery29 series where we tag along as real women embark on trips around the world and track their travel expenses down to the last cent. Here, we offer a detailed, intimate account of when, where, and how our peers spend their vacation days and disposable income: all the meals, adventures, indulgences, setbacks, and surprises. This week's travel diary: A year-old chain supply consultant goes on a dive trip to Manado, Indonesia with her husband and teenage daughter full of long spa days. For questions, feedback, or if you're interested in tracking your travel expenses during an upcoming trip email us at traveldiary refinery It was a great deal at a three-star property. In Manado, we are staying at the Tasik Ria. We bought the all-meals-included option that also has all the dives and boat time for my husband and daughter and covers everything but alcohol. Miscellaneous pre-vacation spending: Because all three of us travel frequently and own all our gear, pre-vacation spend is usually pretty low for us. The only money spent was on health-related items. I also got a recommendation for ear seeding to reduce jet lag from a friend of mine. Miscellaneous post-vacation spending: The kennel fee is the largest part of our vacation budget outside flights and accommodations. We have two dogs, and they get an 8-byfoot room together for the duration of the trip. They have three potty breaks and a play time every day and the room includes treats and a hour live feed that we can access over any internet connection. We use the Travel Pass on our phones so they just work in whatever country we are in. Day One. Our dogs are super co-dependent one has pretty extreme separation anxiety issues and will be in a premium room together. We specifically board in the higher rate rooms so we can see a live stream of them and because extra walks, treats, and playtime are all included. We take the tollway to avoid some of the horrible I traffic, but we have the TexasTag, so it just bills to that account automatically and we replenish as needed. It is only about a 2. We will spend approximately two hours in LA, then take the long flight to Hong Kong. At Hong Kong International, we will have about a three-hour layover and then a 5-hour flight to Jakarta. Once we arrive in Indonesia, we have a hour layover with a hotel stay and then a domestic morning flight to our final destination of Manado in North Sulawesi. LA time — New time zone. We have about 2. The food is better here and we all have a plate of marinara pasta with bread. I grab a glass of Champagne. My husband walks around for a bit and when he gets back the kiddo and I do the same. We board the next flight for Hong Kong a little before p. We all have beef cheek with potatoes and zucchini. There is even vanilla Haagen Dazs for dessert. My policy on the fights is no alcohol if it is over six hours. After the meal, we all lay back our seats, put up the footrests and I do a quick Boscia water mask and pass out. Day Three. It is actually 2 days later due to time zone changes and transit time. We all slept a solid eight hours and wake up feeling pretty good. I attribute this to a number of factors: the lie-down seats, wearing Lunya Restore pajamas with a long sweater, compression socks a must for me on any long trip , and the creature comforts of my silk sleep mask and pillowcase that I take on all trips. It tastes like ramen topped with all the good stuff from fried rice. Our daughter opts for an omelet. After eating, I run through a facial moisturizing routine with moisturizing eye gel, Clinique Pep-Start, Too Faced Hangover Rx, and more Boscia water mask prior to landing. We have about two hours until our flight to Jakarta boards. Being in a flying metal tube for 15 hours makes anyone not smell quite right. The lounge has a great selection of fruit, so I have some dragon fruit, strawberries, and watermelon with an iced latte and strawberry mint water. I make no promises about my willpower on the return trip. The eye rolls and pissiness are strong with this one and I reassure myself part of it is jet lag with this being the longest in-transit trip she has taken. Jakarta Time — We have 15 hours here in a hotel and then the last flight to Manado, so in another literal day we will be at the resort. They left my bag in Hong Kong. Fuck Fuck Fuck. After a mercifully short wait with the lost luggage group, I find that my bag will literally arrive tomorrow as we take off for Manado. Fuck again. I can get clothes. Replacing or renting dive gear is expensive and a much larger pain. Glad I always pack one change of clothes in my carry on. I can put a little extra in the pockets of the people here who help us out! After around two hours we head back upstairs and pass out. Day Four. We head down and have another amazing breakfast of omelets, fried rice, honey croissants, and fruit. Business-class tickets for the four-hour flight to Manado gain us access to the Batik Club, so we spend a little time there and my husband and I have espressos before heading through regular security and onto the final flight in at a. It is an hour's drive to the resort even though it is barely 35 miles. Island traffic is apparently the same on any island anywhere. As we pull in, we see the rest of the dive group. They flew in from Illinois. The only people we know on this trip are the owner and one other person who went on a trip with us to Belize a few years ago. The shop owner is shocked to see how big kiddo is since she was about a foot shorter when he saw her last in our dive trip to Bonaire in We all get big hugs. It really is beautiful. We have a couple of hours until dinner so my husband starts setting up his camera for tomorrow and my daughter and I go up to the main lobby so we can get wifi. I run through and clean out my work inbox and set up a time on Friday day 10 for a Skype interview while she messes around on Instagram like a typical teen and impatiently counts down until dinner is served at seven. The manager lets me know that the bag finally made it to Jakarta and will be on the next flight out here. There are three couples, our family, two single guys, one single woman plus the shop owner on the trip 13 total. The whole group sits down and has a dinner of rice, fried chicken, steamed veggies and an amazing Indian beef dish. We finish off with an orange mousse that is just as wonderful as everything else we have had. I obviously travel for food. Kid passes out in two minutes and I hear my husband snoring as I finish up reading on my iPad. Maybe these ear seeds worked better for me than I thought. I feel pretty normal after only one day. Day Five. Kiddo and husband are gearing up and packing their dry bags. My trusty duffle gets delivered by the resort staff and I shower and put on a bathing suit and sundress. We head down to the pier for breakfast and have an omelette with my new favorite hot sauce: sambal. She has off tomorrow and wants to go shopping as well so she offers to take me along with her. I head over to the pool bar for lunch and have a local fruit salad of guava, pineapple, cucumber, and mango. They top it with a honey coconut milk sauce and a mild shredded cheese. It sounds odd, but tastes delicious! I finish off with Neapolitan ice cream while talking to T. I am treated to a traditional Indonesian footbath and tamarind juice before an hour of relieving tension in my body. After I am served tea and cakes in a private pergola. My husband heads to the spa for his massage and my daughter showers and immediately heads to the front of the resort to access wifi. I check in on our dogs and make sure my interview is good to go. There is a dense chocolate cake with some papaya pineapple juice to finish off. Day Six. Another omelet with sambal and a cinnamon roll with coffee for me and my husband while kiddo has some toast with Nutella and a chocolate muffin. It is so peaceful and the perfect temperature right now. He moved to the country 16 years ago from London. We talk about having a special cake for my daughter for dinner on her birthday. The people here are awesome. She gets to the resort around p. It is like a weird version of the Mall of America that is spaced into three buildings across multiple blocks. While we are walking I try one of the canned coffees. I also eat the Noori chips which are pretty good. At the mall, T. I also get T. It has a bunch of local items and tchotchkes that are more of what I like to take home to remember a trip. After her massage, she asks for another to be scheduled. Like mother, like daughter! I mess up and grab the wrong bill, so the tip is really low. He rinses off and we head down to a dinner of rice, sweet and sour pork, curried potatoes, and cheese stuffed tomatoes. We finish up with strawberry roll cake and more orange mousse. My husband buys a Coke, even though we now have 12 in the mini-fridge. There are some real contenders for our photo wall at home! A black nudibranch and a frogfish are determined to be the top two, however, we will hold final judgment until the week is over. We head to bed soon after. Day Seven. We all get dressed and head down to breakfast. Today I have a cereal that is kind of like flattened Cocoa Puffs and some tamarind juice. I talk with the manager and book a jungle tour for our family tomorrow. My husband usually likes to take a dry day halfway through to give his ears a rest from the pressure changes. One of the staff brought in her foster puppy today. I can tell I miss ours because I wrestle with him for a good half hour. After saying bye to the pup, I head down to the beach for another peaceful hour of vinyasa. It starts with the footbath and tamarind juice again with an hour massage. You had better be extremely body positive or just not care in this part of the world! I then shower and proceed to my two final treatments: a manicure and pedicure. My skin feels like heaven. I head back to my room to soak up a little AC while my nails finish drying and do some reading. I have one of the Cokes I bought and love the taste but instantly regret the bloat. I have seltzer and some of the chocolate cookies as well. We hang around and chat with everyone while they set up their camera rigs and then kiddo and I go back to our room. I read some more and end up finishing my book while she lays down to watch an episode of Jane the Virgin and falls asleep. She is due to start her period any day and it wipes her out another thing we have in common. We leave her be and head down to a dinner of cream curry chicken and rice. The desserts tonight are an avocado mousse and cream puffs. The manager brought in some of his pineapple home brew cider for us to try and it is amazing and dangerous. One that I will never choose to have again. He is especially proud of one he took of a baby cuttlefish on the night dive. When you see it compared to the grains of sand on the ocean floor it is so tiny. I would estimate the size of your pinky nail! After he does all the uploading, we head back and crash hard. Day Eight. Kid started her cycle today and is in some serious pain. I give her some meds to take the edge off and head down to breakfast. Eleven dives in three days have him a little waterlogged. I have an omelet and sambal while chatting about travel with the manager. I really enjoy learning about his transition into Indonesian culture and his experiences and family. Half the fun of travel is meeting people like him! Oh well. Island time is universal I guess. We are seriously considering the Palau trip with the same dive shop next year, but I also want to spend real time in Scotland. Maybe both for ? After lunch, we stop at an Alfamart and I get a 1. She takes some pain meds to handle her period. Very quickly we run into a family of 90 black macaques. There are a ton of them just wandering through the trees stopping to eat and randomly have sex in front of us. The kid instantly ignores her cramps and gets to snapping pics like her dad. She gets a few good ones of the babies learning to climb, one of which we may blow up and hang at home. We hike around a while more and find multiple types of hornbill, couscous bears the only marsupial in the region , and the reason we came out: tarsiers. They are little bug-eyed monkey things with long tails that have kangaroo type legs. They look alien. My husband and daughter get some photos and I take a video to record their sounds. Seriously, look up a video online. I thought they were birds at first! I tip the guide well. We did about three miles total and are all a sweaty, stinky mess when we pile in the car to return. Kiddo and husband both scroll through the photos they took. There are some real winners. She is a great kid who is growing into an interesting and informed woman. He spent a long time with us and helped us learn more about the history of the region. We head to dinner after dropping our bags. Tonight is Italian night so it is chicken parm, lasagna, beef stuffed tomatoes, calzones with coffee mousse and rum balls for dessert. I also have one of the beers I bought earlier with my meal. One is of a pair of the tarsiers hanging on in their tree. Kiddo has already showered and passed out. My husband and I do the same. Day Nine. Kiddo opts out of diving there or even on the home reef today because she is totally wiped out and I head down for a breakfast of flat Cocoa Puffs again. I take back some jelly toast for her. I head up to the front desk to check out any other excursions. I leave a little disappointed and sit at the pool to read some more while drinking a seltzer. The breeze at the pool is nice while we talk a bit. I try to explain to her that she has to start wearing tampons if she wants to dive. The look of sheer disgust on her face makes me want to laugh but I hold it together and go back to the room with her for a quick tutorial that does not go well. When she gets back, we sit at the pool bar for lunch. Well, I watch and she falls asleep. It is the first bit of TV I have watched the entire time since we got here. Kid is starving so she goes down for dinner. When she gets back she passes out immediately. I understand how her cycle wipes her out, and hope things shape up for her tomorrow. I watch the second episode of Carnival Row and then read for another bit. Most of the group is still in good spirits, anyway. When we head back to the room my husband does some picture editing and I fall asleep. Day Ten. Today is her birthday though, so I am more inclined than usual to let it slide. I head to breakfast omelet with sambal and chat with a few of the other non-divers. She heads down to breakfast while I prep for my interview this evening and make sure my phone connects to Telkomsel the local cell service provider since the wifi is still down. I head to the room and kid is awake, showered and doing her initial pack out. While I read on my iPad, I let her use my phone as a hotspot so she can clean up some of her notifications and check her school email. She has a quesadilla and I get the grilled tuna and eggplant. We both finish up with scoops of ice cream just as the diving group comes and jumps in the pool. It turns into a full-on party with a lot of booze and people trying to ride an inflatable unicorn in the pool. Kiddo comments that adult parties and stories are more interesting and fun than the ones with her friends. My husband and I give kiddo the presents we bought for her a Mario Badescu set and a new hoodie she wanted. I read for a bit and my husband wanders off to take some pictures of the sunset and do some post-processing on others. The whole trip has been peaceful for me and very informative in chatting with the locals. Another great night of grilled prawns, rice, and some sort of beef. There is also a chocolate mousse for dessert that tastes like cake batter and does not disappoint. I duck out a little before p. She is thoroughly embarrassed and I love every minute of it. It devolves into a drunken karaoke night since the rest of the group leaves tomorrow, but we still have another day. Kid and husband grab their cameras for some astrophotography at the other end of the pier while I hang around and have four rum seltzers. One of the other divers picks up the tab for everyone. Kid is already asleep and my husband is looking through photos of the week debating which is going to make the cut for the wall at home. There are a few real options between various nudibranch, clownfish, the baby macaque, and even the tarsiers. We talk for a bit in bed before falling asleep. Day Eleven. I lay in bed reading some more while my husband still snores. After they leave, we have a light breakfast of toast and coffee and chat with the manager for almost two hours. We learn a lot about the political landscape of the country as well as how the locals live. We go back to the room and start the great pack out. I start to feel a little queasy, so I go back and lay down as well. He goes to his last massage appointment but forgets to take cash for a tip. The stuff really is a miracle and I start feeling better shortly. We go meet kiddo at the spa and bring the tip for the treatments. None of us feel like eating yet, so we jump in the pool for a bit. We spend some extra time chatting with the manager and D. They asked us to tip at the end in bulk so everyone at the resort gets a share. It really has been a great trip. Tomorrow is literally going to be a 39 hour day with the flights and time changes. Day Twelve. We pick up our last few things and get on the shuttle at a. This time it only takes us 35 minutes in transit, and I tip the driver. Still, we end up taking until a. The airline counter lines take forever. At the last second, we find out that the flight changed from Gate 1 to Gate 2. Not a huge deal but the language difference makes it awkward. We get on the flight after a little help from the Google Translate app. We are reversing out our route in. We will go from Manado to Jakarta on Batik Air and have a four-hour layover so we have enough time to get bags and check in with Cathay. From Jakarta, we will have to go through customs and head to Hong Kong, where we have three hours-ish until we take off for LA. In LA, we will have around nine hours on the ground before we catch the last flight home to Austin. Jakarta time — It takes a bit for the Cathay counter in Jakarta to open and we finally check-in and make it through. I finish my book and watch two episodes of Carnival Row. This day is going to just keep going…. My husband and daughter grab Starbucks on one of my gift cards. Kiddo settles in finishing up her homework while she has wifi for the online stuff. I zone out completely and surf the Internet. That makes this an extremely long day. We all eat dinner on the flight, which is a pretty good fried chicken and noodle dish with more vanilla ice cream like on the way over. After, we all pass out pretty quickly. They offer something for breakfast, but none of us are awake enough to eat at that time. LA time — We land and stumble off the aircraft through customs. We all have Global Entry, so it is really quick for us. By some miracle, we only wait five minutes and our bags are some of the first off the plane! We grab them and hop the shuttle over to the Courtyard hotel LA Airport only 15 minutes after deplaning. Even with sleeping a full night before on the plane, we all shower and crash out quickly. Day Thirteen. We get the shuttle back to the airport and check-in. We have to get new bag tags since we took them with us last night instead of dropping them and checking them through. We all eat a bagel and my husband and I have some coffee. We board around a. Austin time! We get our luggage relatively quickly and head out to the truck. The kid continues to play on her phone now that cell service is back. It was definitely a trip to remember! How did you prepare for this trip? We linked up with a dive shop, Sea Level, when we lived in Illinois and we keep up with some of their more far-flung adventures. There is no association fee with the shop, but they usually get some sort of cut from or reduced rate at the resort where the group stays. In general, the shop finds a dive location and works with the local provider to negotiate a group rate for lodging and included dives. Depending on the location and resort, it can be all-inclusive or it can be lodging or diving only. It just depends on what the various resorts offer. The shop acts kind of like a travel agent and sometimes provides airline booking as well. We chose not to allow them to book our airfare since we were starting from a different city than the other attendees. In this case, the total we paid to the shop included lodging, all meals, and the dives with regular air for my husband and daughter. Once they collected from everyone, the shop put in the full amount with Tasik Ria. Sea Level is very helpful and pretty flexible with special requests and upgrades, as long as you are willing to pay the difference. We liked the look of this trip, but added a day so we could have time just for the family in addition to making sure that all meals were included. When did you book the flights? Do you think you got a good deal? We got premium economy seats for less than the regular economy rate on a major international carrier. We booked business class on the in-country flight on Batik Air to make sure we got a meal before landing, so we are ready to go when we hit the ground. Did you use credit card points or miles to pay for parts of this trip? If so, please explain further: We only used points on the stay in LA on the way back. What was your favorite part of the trip? My personal favorite was the Tangkoko hike. Being in the middle of a literal jungle and having the ability to walk to the edge where it is the ocean is unreal. Walking out as dusk turned to night was a symphony of sounds you will not hear anywhere else! For any divers, the Lembeh Straight is probably the highlight. My husband brought back pictures of seahorses, a baby cuttlefish the size of a pinky nail you can see individual grains of sand stuck to his face! What was the best meal or food you ate while you were there? The best new food find for me was the sambal to take home. The best overall meal was the whitefish on the way to Tangkoko. All the local fish is excellent and just flakes off on your fork. Do you have credit card debt as a result of booking this vacation? If so, how much? We paid for the flights far enough in advance that it was a non-issue. We ended up with no incurred debt as a result of the rest of the trip either. We generally put the large purchases on the card and pay them off immediately. What advice would you give someone who is traveling to the same location? Go with the flow. Shit happens. Most locals are incredibly nice and will help you out in any way they can. Also, download the Google Translate app and make sure you have the Indonesian language set to use offline before you come. It is helpful in smaller areas where the signs may not always be in English. Pull rupiah at an ATM when you land. Would you stay at your hotel again? We would definitely book at the Tasik Ria again if we come back to Manado. The staff is warm and friendly, the food is consistently good quality, the spa was worth every penny, and most importantly the dive operation is top tier. However, after talking with my husband we would probably get a suite so our daughter could have some of her own space instead of being on a rollaway bed right next to us. The rooms are comfortable and the open concept shower was interesting. There is literally no separation from the sink to the toilet to the shower; not even a half wall! It was also amusing to us that there was a second outdoor shower attached to our room. Not a normal experience, but I could get used to it! Where were you located in the specific city and would you recommend staying in that part of town? We were in the Minahasa part of Manado. The resort was oddly right off the main drive, but it granted some easy access when we needed to get to other parts on the north end of the island. I prefer the coastal option to the highlands as the volcano area has become a definite tourist area and our family generally stays away from those experiences. The entire island has spots of austere living right next to areas of high commerce. You are never going to be far from either. I wish we would have done the rafting as a family.

Manado Complete Meal (100gr)

The regional flavours of this town are definitely not for the faint of palate, but if you dare to give it a try, it will be worth it. When conversing about this city, two things usually come to the mind of avid travellers: the magnificently vibrant world of underwater marine wonders at Bunaken, and the unforgettable flavours of the rich regional cuisine on offer. This dish is more popularly known by its other name, Bubur Manado Manadonese porridge. Tinutuan immediately stands apart from other types of Indonesian porridge thanks to the corn and spinach topping. The porridge itself is made from rice and crookneck pumpkin, usually served with salted fish and sambal terasi, and is really popular for breakfast. Manadonese people love their chillies or rica, in Manadonese and all their dishes should be accompanied by a spicy condiment. Cakalang is made from skipjack tuna that has been cleaned, split into two and clipped on a bamboo frame. Afterwards, the fish is cured using soda powder, salt and spices, before going through a smoking process. The curing and smoking process create pungent flavours that make cakalang fufu a versatile ingredient to be used in many dishes. When processed correctly, cakalang fufu can last for a month, making it a popular item for travellers to buy and bring home. Cakalang fufu is usually consumed with steamed rice and dabu-dabu, as well as shredded and cooked in spicy rica-rica chilli mixture to be put on top of rice or noodles. All Culinary Journey.
