Tomorrow we head to Yangon. We have spent the past 3 days running around Bangkok getting some errands taken care of. We changed our return date home...now it is scheduled for March 1st (but that could change again), then we had to go get US dollars because there are no ATM machines in Myanmar and credit cards are not accepted. That was a challenge that should get put on an episode of The Amazing Race. We went to about 4 currency exchange places yesterday...no luck. This morning we went to 5 banks before we found one that had any. Everywhere we went, they would send us to another bank, and they would send us somewhere else. Finally...success. But man, too much work. We are on vacation...all we are supposed to do is sit by the pool.
Looking forward to Myanmar. My camera is itching to take some photos. I just hope that I can get my camera on the plane. With everything going on now with that scare in London, they are saying no carry ons. Well my camera is not going in my luggage...so we will see what happens.
Bangkok is a dangerous city for the 2 of us. We have to walk with blinders on because the shopping is crazy here. I know a few people who would pop a gasket if they came here. If I lived here I would for sure be a shop-a-holic. Everything is just so cute and so cheap.
I will update some photos soon...so you can all see the beauty of the grand palace here in Bangkok...it took my breath away.
oh and if I haven't told anyone yet...my mom is coming to Thailand on Sept 5th. Yahoo!

"pop!"
Just me, popping a gasket. I actually had to take a little shopping trip to get some new outfits for work. Ugh. Can you believe it's only three weeks away? Anyhoo, I'd rather be shopping in Bangkok, that's for sure.
Bye for now, love you,
Kim
