Anyone out there on this trip?!
Hi Jacquie, Yes my husband Paul and I are booked on the trip. I found your post as I have just been online doing a bit of research for the trip which looks wonderful - but a lot of travelling. I love reading peoples reviews and everyone has had a great time. So not long now!

Hi guys
Great to link up with you all on here beforehand! I think it's going to be totally inspirational to experience it before it goes completely mainstream. I have done Thailand, and whilst the north can still be experienced relatively tourist-free (in the right tour group), the south is way too busy - such a shame as the people are absolutely lovely. So, I am really hoping Burma is like North Thailand. Me and my friend Sarah are both on this trip, late thirties and quite well-travelled, and always open to new experiences. If you haven't yet seen it, we recommend seeing "The Lady" before you go - it's the story of Aung San Suu Kyi who has been and still is so influencial in Burmese history. As well as being relevant to our trip, it's a really good film! Yes, looking like Malaria tabs are pretty compulsary... I have my stash already!
Looking forward to meeting you all in 10 weeks!

I don't know if anyone else is interested but for £210 you can book on a balloon trip over the temples of Bagan. Apparently this has to be prebooked, but I don't know whether this is accurate. Check out U Tube for some videos of the trip - looks pretty amazing.
