We're a little behind on reading your blogs
Enjoying getting caught up. As you say there are a great number of amazing mountains in Nepal. It is stunning.

A blank canvass
Sometimes it is much better going in with few expectations. Hilarious story about waking up late. Sorry you had to endure that trauma but it was pretty funny.

Oh just one more temple
If you don't get your fill of exploring temples in Bagan it is your own fault! What a great town and we like the sandstone temples a great deal. Sorry you were sick but happy to hear it was a short one. Thanks for sharing that Seuss quote.

Inle Lake was one of our favorite parts of Burma
Aren't the tobacco makers amazing...and yet sad that they make so little money. Burma seems to be on the verge of a tourists explosion so we were happy to get there before any more changes take place. Thanks for sharing and happy travels.

Hand it to you
Hey Tom, You seem to be having a good time. I think you may have made a glitch... In the US and Europe they drive on the RH side of the road... See you soon-ish... Gav has headed off to Chiang Mai today for about five days. Renmeister

Myanmar Independent Travel
Hi tom Just read your latest blog and was interested in your comments regarding accommodation. My husband and I have travelled fairly extensively in S.E Asia and are heading to Myanmar in October 2013 with another couple, less well travelled than us. We love landing in a country with little organised, apart from maybe the first night's accommodation. The sense of adventure and meeting the locals is what it's all about. However all the travel reports seem to indicate the problems in travelling in Myanmar in this way. What is your opinion? I think it's still feasible to land in Myanmar and organise our destinations/plans once there but our friends are wanting us to commit to a pre-arranged tour. At great expense and little independence. Is a party of 4 going to hit problems arranging travel plans/accommodation once in Myanmar? I would be grateful for your opinion as you are travelling there now, albeit less people involved? Many thanks and enjoy your travels. I will enjoy reading about them and salivating for the time I'm back on that road again. Many thanks, and regards Kim

Independent travel
Hi Kim Thanks for the message. As long as you do not come between December and February, finding accommodation on arrival should not be a problem. All the issues you raise are the same problems you will find anywhere, and unfortunately organising pre-paid tours is both expensive and inflexible. I hope you enjoy your upcoming trip, and Myanmar is wonderful whichever way you decide. All the best Tom

In the travel zone
"I feel I'm right in the travel zone now displaying some peak form. Leave your inhibitions at home is the plan, meet people, see the world, and experience the culture. Wow, this is really living!" I loved these sentences for they capture the essence of travelling, immersing oneself in each destination. Hope to meet you on the road one day so that we can compare travel perspectives.

Awesome
Nice to read your article. You style is really different. Would you please write something about Travel Insurance? Most of the people really don't know about that. Like, On a recent trip to Morocco my iPad got stolen from my backpack while I was exiting a train. I am glad my insurance paid me out a little for it. http://www.multitrip.com/
