Burma

We're now in Bangkok.  Our plan was to come here and see what we could do to get a visa for Burma, thinking it might take a few days to process the application (or that we might not get one at all).  We got the visa in two hours - no hassle whatsoever.  We booked our flight and we leave for Yangoon tomorrow.  We'll be there for two weeks, coming back to Bangkok on January 12.  We've heard rumors that there is internet access in Burma now so I may be able to blog from there (that is, if this site isn't blocked).  Our rough itinerary is to fly to Mandalay in the north (or somewhere near there) and work our way south over land and by river toward Yangoon.  We're both really excited.  Everyone, have a very happy new year!
