Arrived in Burma on Dec 18th and after a long car ride to Bhamo, a super long boat trip down the Ayerwaddy River to Katha, and an overnight train, we are now relaxing in Myitkyina in Kachin State.
At one time in 1944/45 the airport here in Myitikyina was the busiest in the world, flying supplies over The Hump to China.

Many Christians here in town and I had a chance today to sing "Oh Come All Ye Faithful" with a local Baptist congregation but esacped just in time. haha
We are staying at the New Light Hotel, owned by a nice Sikh family. The showers are hot and the included b-fast is tasty.
Happy Holidays to all and the best 2009.
