Mingalaba

(hello in Burmese)
Well Marie and I are off on our adventure starting this Tuesday! I'm sure it will be a riotous affair and there will be tons of pictures and stories. Here's a little acrostic poem we came up with to start off our journey. Enjoy!

Airplanes. Lots and lots of airplanes
No such thing as too many lists. We have lists for what to pack, what to ask about what to pack, places to  go to get things to pack....
Tallest people in the country. We might stick out a wee bit
Impatient to see Rose. It's been too long!
Communication. We will not be very successful at this in the native language of the country
Instagram. We apologize, but it won't be happening 1. We don't have it and 2. Even if we did have it, we won't have phones there
Packing. and re-packing. and over-packing
Atlas. When you use one, look for Myanmar and/or Burma
Tropical. Definitely no snow there, though we have recently been informed the mountains are chilly and we might need sweaters
Ill-fitting Burmese clothes. (no Rose our shirts aren't tucked in...)
One-suitcase. Not gonna happen
Neck pillows. We sure hope they work!
