Seldom do I get so excited about a place that I dont want back home, but Laramie, Wyoming, certainly that. While I was walking down Grand Avenue on Monday, I stumbled across some houses for rent and seriously considered calling the numbers listed, just to see what kind of prices I could expect.

I had a remarkably good final nights sleep at the Rangoon YMCA, given that I was assigned the table for the night. We spent the morning sending the last of our Burma postcards and visiting the markets.

The last place we stayed was another Heritance hotel, located south of Colombo in Ahungalla, after another beautiful drive through the mountains and jungle.

We have an early start this morning – not a big deal for daughter no 1 and me, as our body clocks havent adjusted to the 8 hour time difference and we are up and raring to go by 5.30 am. When the kids were little and recently arrived in the US, I used to take them to Walmart in the middle of the night as it was the only place open where they could run around and let off steam until the rest of A Read on...
Getting here is NOT straightforward! We needed proof of vaccinations, PCR tests, special quarantine hotel ordered and more tests paid for. The staff at Ben Gurion airport was unprepared, didnt know what forms they had to check so the process was a bit nightmarish. Still, we flew Gulf Air via Bahrain, flight.
