We all stayed up most of the
night getting ready for the trek.
We had hoped to upload a version of
Episode 1 of our podcast, but the
internet connections are painfully
slow. We will do it at the next available
fast connection. That might not
happen until Chris gets home on June
25th. Once again, time will
tell...as it always does.
Ang Dawa Sherpa collected us from
the hotel just after 5am and the
airport greeted us at 5:45am. Piles of
gear were shifted from the vehicle
to carts...and we made our way to
the waiting area in the domestic
terminal.

Unloading
at the Airport
All reports said that we
had to wait for the weather to clear
to land in Lukla. We were all
exhausted.
Alex Sleeps
in the Airport
Minutes turned to hours and we
strobed in and out of sleep. I got
to know Ang Dawa a little better.
What a gentle, capable soul. I feel
lucky to have found him and I am looking
forward to climbing to the Roof of
the World with him in 2008!
At noon they cancelled the flight.
Try again tomorrow. Time to head
back to the Kathmandu Guest House
and catch up on sleep. We ate pasta
for lunch and dinner. I typed
away...and napped...while Chris and
Alex went to see 'Pirates of the
Caribbean 3'.
It's 1am right now...and June
6th in Kathmandu is looking wet.
Dawa will be here in about four
hours. Hopefully we can just cruise
to the airport and get on the plane
to Lukla. I'm looking forward to the
first day of hiking...but now it's
time to sleep...:^O
zzzzzzzzzzzz
