Welcome to the first of many Women and Power blogs!
I hope that for all of the participants and their friends and families it will provide a memorable description of all of our experiences - good and bad.
(If you have no idea what a blog looks like try putting albistonsmiths.blogspot.com into your search engine and you will see the one I created for our trip to Africa and Turkey last year)
The biggest challenge will be connecting with the internet and uploading the blog. Burma is known for variable internet connectivity. So don't be surprised if you get nothing for a few days and then a whole heap of blogs at the same time.
With a month to go before departure for Burma, plotting and planning is uppermost in everyone's minds. The burning questions include:
How much Gastro-stop does one person need for 3 weeks in Burma?
What possessed me to offer to do a session at the Conference (and what am I going to do??!!)
How does a girl survive in a country with no ATMs?
Will I get drenched at some point ( Answer is probably yes!)
Is it 'Burma' or 'Myanmar' and will I be thrown into jail if I get it wrong?
How does one keep cool in extreme heat and humidity, whilst still dressing modestly?
Bathers! When did I last squeeze this body into bathers?
But most importantly: what sort of alcohol should I be purchasing duty-free for sharing whilst wallowing in the pool!
Too many questions and not enough answers, fellow travellers.
Your first blogger

where are the pics? D1 thinks a second date is signs of progress. D2 thinks you must have too much time on your hands to have written so... much
