This is a time of change in Burma - it will be interesting to be there and hear from the locals what they think.

Yes, we are excited. It's a litle more than a month till we leave Seattle, and we have a few days in Bangkok before we fly to Yangon. I will be fascinated to hear everyone's impressions of this time of change.
