It's Oct now and I need to make flight bookings... how's the planning for the event coming along?

Thank you for organizing this!
Count me in Andrew. Are you flying by SilkAir? I intend to go for a week, from Jan. 10 to Jan. 17, but cannot confirm at the moment.

Regards,
Jia Hao

Boothe,

We would chose the cheapest package. But how do we book? The Eclipse is not far away.

Thanks.

I'm very sorry for my ignorance, I didn't find this post. :(

I'm traveling to Shwe Bo on 15th Jan. I'll overnight in Mandalay and travel to Shwe Bo on 15th. I'm going to travel along with one of the Eclipse Chasers.

Anyone who wants to be in Mandalay and wants to join, please feel free to email me.

Sorry for inconvenience caused and thank you for interesting.

Cheers!

:)

Yes Anat, I've been very busy with new classes, new exams, job & photo competitions. Especially in Dec 09 and Jan 2010. Can't even take more astrophotos with new big telescope yet.

I feel really sorry that I can't meet and help you guys from Singastro while you are in Myanmar.

jiahao1986, I can't see you pic. :(

Clear Skies!

Jia Hao! Nice pic! But why at Bagan and not Shwe Bo? The annual is not centralized (never mind, can PS! Haha!).
