We leave in just five days! Most of the really nervous-making stuff is over, now that our passports have been returned to us by the Myanmar embassy in D.C., where we had to send them in order to get our visas.

We board British Airways flight 58 next Monday evening for our flight to Singapore, via London. It will be a long trip, but we're looking forward to getting plenty of rest on our flat-bed seats.

Stay tuned for news and photos after the trip begins.

Our trip to Asia is only 3 weeks away, and we're already getting excited. Be sure to tune back in early December to follow our story.
