Hi Mike! Thanks for the comments. I would say look at what coffees you are going to work with for your new biz. I dont necessarily want to put you off Sumatra, but it is as well trodden as the trails in the Apalachian Mountains in July and August! I could help you put together something for Sumatra- probably Aceh-Sidikalang-West Sumatra... but would think depending on ime you might want to do an East Indonesia trip- maybe start in East Java, then Bali-Flores and even Papua if you have time. Let me know how much time you have... will then make a few more recommendations. Best for the new year

Hi Mike. Indonesia is still pretty cost wise...you can stay in a Hyatt/Hilton for around $75/night if you so chose! My recomendation would be to use the good quality 3 star hotel where posssible- around $40/night maximum. Travel by plane these days is safe and reasonable (to most places at ;least). Interisland flights Java to Bali-or further east between US40 to US70 depending on distance. All up it should be very easy to survive well on an average of US65/day I would think.
If you have a week I would use JAL and fly into Bali- then do East Java, Bali and Flores- exiting again grom Bali. The only tyhing to watch is the ground transport, which is cheap BUT not always punctual! Doing the recommended rout would pretty much avoid any real dramas I would say. You would also see an established origin (East Java) and two emerging origins- Bali and Flores.
