Tomorrow we are Burma bound
 
Tomorrow we embark on our long-awaited journey to Burma. Many thanks to all who have offered information, help and encouragement. We'll check in with you as we can, and of course we'll have a full trip report and photos when we return.

Bon voyage.

You and Cheryl have a great trip. See you in BKK with lots of stories.

Bon Voyage Kathie and see you soon in Bangkok.

Kathie Nov 8th, 2009 01:30 PM

Thanks for all of your good wishes.

We're in the process of packing today. I have a feeling I may need to unpack and take things out... I want to make sure to have some space for crafts from Burma.

Femi Nov 8th, 2009 02:03 PM

I usually take an empty duffel bag inside my suitcase, as I never know when it will come in handy.

Craig Nov 8th, 2009 03:29 PM

I really look forward to hearing about your trip. There has not been much posted here on Myanmar in the last couple of years before NYW and now you and Cheryl.

Have a wonderful trip!

Kathie Nov 8th, 2009 03:36 PM

Thanks everyone! I'm all packed and I still have space for shopping!

I know how much this one means to you and I hope it will be one for the ages. Keep safe and in touch when you can.

Aloha!

How exciting! Bon voyage. May you both travel safely and in excellent health. Thanks in advance for the privilege and pleasure of reading your trip commentary.

LeighTravelClub Nov 8th, 2009 08:32 PM

Hope you both have a great trip.....I'm sure you will.
Looking forward to reading all about it and of course......your photos.

Robbietravels Nov 8th, 2009 08:36 PM

Bon Voyage! I am sooo glad you fought the moral fight and came out for Burma. If you buy the traditional long skirt (lovely, decorative and very inexpensive at a local market) and wear it, it will generate access to the locals and lead to conversational adventures.

Smeagol Nov 9th, 2009 01:41 AM

Have a fab time, looking forward to your report.

Gpanda Nov 9th, 2009 02:40 AM

By my calculations, today is tommorrow and your soon to be off. We will read with great interets your impressions of Myanmar.

dogster Nov 9th, 2009 03:42 AM

She can't go yet. She's not allowed - not until I get MY blessing in.

big hugs from outer space: love Dogster.

Now she can go.

Nywoman Nov 9th, 2009 04:05 AM

Kathy and Cheryl,
Have a safe flight. You will love it here

shelleyk Nov 9th, 2009 04:45 AM

Have a great time. I'll be looking forward to your report.

offwego Nov 9th, 2009 06:07 AM

Excellent. Can't wait to hear all about it. See you in Bangkok.

Kathie Nov 9th, 2009 06:24 AM

Indeed, today is the day! And what a lovely send-off. Thanks to you all.

I'm looking forward to seeing Pook, Karen and Bob, Beth and Andy, Fanny, and Lori in Bangkok. I hope I didn't miss anyone.

And dogster - outer space? I thought you were in India! Thanks for your blessing.

kuranosuke Nov 9th, 2009 07:13 AM

Have a wonderful trip - looking forward to your trip report and photos - I enjoyed the last one a lot - it seems like quite a while back....
Enjoy!

Kathie Nov 10th, 2009 02:56 PM

Here we are in the Thai Lounge awaiting our flight to Rangoon. I will check in briefly as I am able from Burma.

We were in the new Biz seats on United from Narita to BKK - a huge improvement. We both slept about 4 hours on that flight.

Hanuman Nov 10th, 2009 03:08 PM

Welcome back to Thailand Kathie, albeit just for a short while. Hope you guys will have a lot of fun in Burma and see you on your return to Bangkok.

Craig Nov 10th, 2009 04:08 PM

Thanks for checking in, Kathie. It might be helpful to start a new thread.
