Day 2 in Kathmandu

Day 2 in Kathmandu! Continued good weather and time to adjust to the nearly 13 hour time difference.Most of the group left this morning to begin the trek in. Tomorrow, another part of our group fly to Lukla to begin the trek to base camp. The plan is to trek to Phakding or Monjo from Lukla then to Namche the following day. After 3 nights in Namche and some acclimatization hikes, we should move up to Tengboche and spend the next day there. From Tengboche, we will move up to Dingboche, spend the next day there then move to Lobuje. We will spend a day at Lobuje, again for acclimatizing, then trek to Gorakshep. The next day, we plan to arrive at Everest base camp. Arrival there should be around April 8. All this is based on everyone doing well, so plans could change slightly. I will include a group photo from our dinner last night. It is an interesting and impressive group. Thanks to Kurt for the use of his laptop!That's all for now!
