FYI:

I plan to arrive in Luang Prabang on Saturday, November 28. I have booked my hotel in Luang Prabang (My Dream Boutique Resort) for a week and will store many of my bulkier belongings in my hotel room during the 2 nights I am up north (choosing to travel light with only a backpack). You are welcome to store your luggage in my room.
