I had to laugh at the comment that Bob wanted you to sleep in one day. Like you we always seem to be early starters when we are travelling & that is by choice.
We too loved the old city of Ava has a great feeling.

Jules--do you have your photo available for others to see yet? I'd love to see it. I still don't have my photos downloaded yet. It's driving me crazy but I decided to wait until I got my new computer which should be here any day.

Waiting on my new computer to download photos--hope it arrives tomorrow and I get to work!

Patty it must have killed you not being able to download your photos straignt away!
I am afraid I do not have any of our photos on a site anywhere. I have never done that but I really should.

You're right, Jules, but it proved to my husband that I don't have to have technology at hand constantly! That was so hard, plus my iMac arrived late Thursday--I work all day Friday and then we drive directly to the beach for the long weekend, so I only had my laptop. (Oops, that makes me sound whiny--and ridiculous after being in Myanmar--where our new friends have so little). But tonight I did get some time working on photos. Such fun! Hope you decide to post your photos somewhere. It's not difficult. Or you could email us individually!

Patrick (cestgaston)--your photos are lovely!!! Did you write up a trip report. If so, I'd love to read it also. How was the Golden Rock side trip?

Have been looking forward to your report so much! Bookmarking so I can enjoy a leisurely read-through later.

I just posted photos on Facebook and will soon post them on my website.

Hey Patrick "cestgaston." I don't know if you'll get this or not, but I really really like your photos!!! Awesome. Too bad we didn't meet up in Myanmar.
