Dave, I only had a few days to spend in the north and wanted to see stuff north of Chiang Mai – this was the most efficient way to get around up there – saw some cool stuff that I wouldn’t had seen otherwise ihcluding a boat ride on the Mekong River and seeing the border with Burma/Myanmar, and the Golden Triangle. Only had a guide that one day.
Bring the baby to the bar…no problemo. If he starts crying, we’ll just give him a tiny sip of Lech’s Jameson shot. Kid will be happy after that. Bleary eyed and drooling more than usual, but happy!
Also, FWIW, I was told that a lot of people in Burma/Myanmar prefer Burma because as much as it’s a colonial name, Myanmar is the name given by a harsh dictator – so both aren’t the best. My tour guide in Thailand said Burma or Myanmar every time he referred to the country.

Gem, does it feel like your little PIT (PLUSA in Training) is gonna be born very soon? Before you know it, it’ll be time to throw him in a baby bjorn and bring him to a PLUSA party :-)”
Ha! – I need to come first for more than 10 mins than maybe can be an annoying park slope mom dragging my baby to a bar! – haaaa
Braxton Hicks – the Alabama relatives of Toni Braxton who chew on hay in public.
