Hello - We arrived in Nepal on Saturday, 9/8, after many flights, lots of airplane food, more movies then I can remember and for me hardly any sleep. Mike was able to sleep on most of the flights. We did a lay over in Bangkok Friday night. We normally would have gone out to hear a few bands, but we were too tired - maybe we're getting too old for all nighters and then getting on a plane for another 4 hour flight at 7:00 AM.
Anyway, we're now in Nepal and just hanging out, trying to get used to the time change. We plan on leaving for the trek on Sunday, 9/16 for three weeks. Most likely very little news from us during that time, not sure about cell/wifi service in the mountains.
Only one minor mishap - I've smashed one of my toes on the left foot as I was getting out of the cab in Bangkok (damn Tevas!), thank goodness it's not broken, we got ice on it right away and now a few days later I'm able to bend it. I was a little worried it would put a damper on the trek.
All is well, just a bit tired, but wanted to let you guys/gals know we are on our way.
