Hi Janice
I have just seen your post regarding currency.
We are taking US dollars which must be in pristine condition, no folds in them and no marks on them!
This was the information we were given by a previous JY Burma traveller. There is a very good review "Barefoot in Burma" with additional posts from a couple of years ago which gives a lot of information. Think Bob may have written it, but it might have been Hils.
I will also take some sterling. I think that travellers on a previous trip exchanged some of their USD for kyats at the airport after landing. I obviously don't know whether we will be able to do that this time as there are 23 of us and it will no doubt take a fair bit of time.
A few of us are staying at the Premier Inn, 15 Bath Rd on 11th Nov and we are meeting for dinner at 7pm. If you or anyone else on the tour is staying there you would be welcome to join us, if you wish. (We are also seeing a JY friend who we met in 2016 in Borneo).
10 days to go, so now on countdown, exciting. Am looking forward to meeting everyone and seeing Burma, plus seeing Branwen our Tour manager again, after being our TM in Vietnam.
Kind Regards
Di
