Time-traveling interviewers

We are trying to set up an interview with the Indonesian folks, and they are apparently going to be interviewing us from the future.

They wanted to set up the interview for Monday, July 14, 10 am Jakarta time.

This translates to Sunday, July 13, 7 pm Alaska time.

If they are in the future, will they already know how we did? Do they even need to do the interview? If a butterfly flaps its wings during the interview, does that mean that all things onward will be altered?

Unfortunately, their proposed time doesn't work for us, since we will be gathering up the leftovers from the rummage/moving/yard/garage sale in which we tried to sell away the signifiers of our lives.

So they will have to interview us from the future further into the future.

We leave in 14 days. We have reached the two week threshold. The trip is starting to feel real, in a sort of unreal way, if that makes sense.
