This could work as long as there's private transport and/or cabs. The public bus takes too long to get out of the airport to Georgetown.

Just stay in Georgetown for the day, check out a museum, have a look at some murals, wonder through the heritage listed streets, and eat - a lot. Might be able to fit in a late breakfast, late lunch, plus an early dinner (especially if you are willing to take LCCs).

Anything further on this? Don't want to seem impatient but UA is on to me that I'm holding duplicate reward tickets for 2 consecutive days and wants me to cancel one.

Itinerary and hotels for Luang Prabang would help me decide when to travel.

Please and thank you.

Very interested in attending. Would be interested in the Pre Do as well depending on travel schedule.

I am definitely interested in the 'Do and the Pre-'Do! I'll let you know if the logistics work out. :-)

Edited on September 12 to add: Attendance is looking more likely now that my work schedule has settled down for the next several months. I'll probably skip Laos, although I am very interested in Penang!

I wish I knew what all the excitement was about...longest running DO and all Found out about this via a different thread on the United forum and the person I pm'd was nice enough to reply to me and link to here.

Since I just moved to SIN and will still be living there next year please put me down as a definite for the DO. I'm not sure I'll be in for the pre-DO as much as I want to go Laos; I'll have just returned from the US for the holidays so getting more time off so quickly may not be in the cards.

I'm looking forward to hearing more about the DO. If anyone doesn't mind PM'ing me and giving me an idea of what to expect or what has happened during the past DOs I'd appreciate it.

Thanks,
RM

List me as likely for the Do. Am not available for the pre-Do due to commitments at home.
Expect SQ flights and Intercon stay.

Has anyone booked flights to Laos yet? I'm trying to decide whether I should go ahead, or go somewhere else. Would like to know how much to budget for a hotel as well.
