Hi Jonah, great advice about the money. Could I ask what shoes you wore when travelling... having read your review on being barefoot in Burma, I'm staring to wonder if I should invest now in a good pair of walking sandals, as usually I wear lightweight walking shoes but this could be a pain if we will be constantly taking our shoes off.

Thanks

Most of the time I wore Crocs ' 'thongs' as the Aussies call them and I found these were fine as they are washable or wet wipable as required.  For Lake Inle because of getting in and out of the boat I just wore ordinary sandals.

I am so jealous - I want to go again!!

Thanks for saying hello, I'm sure that we'll have some laughs together next Feb. I haven't booked on the cyclone trip but I'm tempted to!

One other question, I've got a preloaded currency card, mine's with Caxtonfx, does anyone know if the ATM's in Burma accept these worldwide currency cards? I took one to Ecuador and had to queue for 2 hours in the bank as the ATM wouldn't accept it. Just wondering if anyone had any experience to share.

The temples we visited were all hard paved although pretty dusty.  As long as your shoulders are covered, tops are not too low cut and shorts are not too short you will be OK.  If there is a problem you will offered a cover up but it is worth having a pashmina or shawl anyway for protection from the sun.  However generally ladies wore cropped trousers which were fine.

Yet another question, what type of electrical adaptor will I need fot Burma?

Hi Sarah, 

Most of the hotels we stayed in had 3 point plugs just like ours, the others were the usual 2 round pin, (think I only had to use an adapter once).

In the Sedona, there was a choice of sockets concealed under a lift up flap on the 'dressing table/worktop' by the window.

It's a fantastic trip, Burma's a really beautiful country, enjoy...!

Hi Pahill

Unfortunately I am not retired and work full time plus have to commute to London, which means nearly 3-4 hours extra travelling time.  But since I like to see as much as I can whilst I am on a touring holiday I do not mind coming back more tired than when I left and also feeling as if I need another holiday to get over the one I have just returned from!  The best thing for you to do is look at the itinerary carefully before you decide which holiday to go on.  On some holidays you get more free time than the others so you need to choose one with great care.   Also, believe me that brand new tours are more or less the same as the ones which have been going on for some time.  Your other option is to opt out of some of the included excursions and some people do this.  I am sure you were not a guinea pig!  I also hope that this one trip has not put you off travelling with Just You.  

Best wishes

Jaya

Thanks for the feedback. You have said one thing that I find very disturbing - that new tours are more or less the same over time. This says to me that Just You don't listen to feedback and/or make changes to accommodate the majority opinion. If the next group that goes still get taken out into Yangon to see three sights having been up for 24 hours at that point, that will prove your point as not a single person on the tour enjoyed that first afternoon as a result - and I made a point of asking everyone as I variously sat with them over the tour what they thought of that scheduling.

This was my 13th JY holiday, so I am well used to their style and make-up. It was just the worst for free time as there wasn't any - at all. Every other tour I have done with JY gives you at least half a day with nothing planned to do, sometimes two half days. This tour needs something like that somewhere during its length.

Hello. I must admit that after a 24 hour flight, I would not want to indulge in sightseeing. It's little wonder that other travelliers were in agreement. I don't sleep on planes as it is. I hope when I go on the 27th Feb 2017 som,e consideration is given. The beach holiday add on looked essential to rest before the flight home.

Graham.
