Ardis, thank you for the thorough report. As we loved Angor Wat, we have a desire to see Burma; thank you for the good and hte bad. If you hear from anyone that took the trip to Mandalay, I would like to hear about that, too.

I am sorry to hear that you won't be going to Colombo. I actually have lots of memories (some good, some not) of my trip to Colombo and would like to go back.
