On to Burma....
I leave late tonight for the airport to catch a 2:10am Christmas morning flight from Vancouver to Hong Kong on my way to Burma with an arrival in Yangon on Jan 5th.
I will try to provide trip notes as I go along but of course that will be dependent upon reliable internet access. I found Kathie's "on the ground" reports really valuable in fine tuning my itinerary.....so I hope to return the favour to benefit other travellers. I will be in Burma for a full 28 days.
Before Burma I will be spending 3 days in Hong Kong, followed by 8 days in Penang, Malaysia.
Merry Christmas everyone. Special thanks to Kathie in Seattle and hello to live4today, a fellow British Columbian who is leaving for Burma in a few days and will get there before me....perhaps our paths will cross while we are there!

Thnx for the good wishes everyone. I'm currently in hong kong...leaving for Penang this afternoon (Dec 28)....luv. My hotel... The Mercer... in Sheung Wan....literally 1 min to MRT.....it's a brand new boutique hotel....very sexy decor...alas I am traveling alone. On day of arrival I went to the Peak BY FOOT!!....I've done it by tram and bus before...a strenuous climb but I felt very accomPlished for a 65 year old fogey!
Yesterday I spent the day in the Mong Kok markets...... was a holiday and crowds were intense. Glad to be moving on today to Penang.
Debbe I'll be in Mandalay Jan 7-10 and Bagan Jan 10-15 and Inle Jan 15-19. I have feeling we will miss each other though.
Happy travels!
