OFF ON THE ROAD TO MANDALAY

There’s The Road to Mandalay with Bob Hope and Bing Crosby (only if you’re old enough to remember) or there’s Mandalay Rum which is ageless. A 22 minute flight here at 6 AM starts the juices flowing early. One of our first visits was to a school in a rural village. The classroom is basically outside so the kids have a free run about. About 60 kids went wild when someone in our group brought a frisbee for them. Of course the men in our group got to teach them how to use it. Kids are kids everywhere.
