Kathmandu

We arrived in Kathmandu yesterday afternoon after a 17 hour flight from LA to Bangkok, a 5 hour layover in Bangkok followed by a 3 hour flight to Kathmandu! We arrived tired but in otherwise good shape. Super views of the great peaks on the flight in! The good news is that we won't have to endure a long flight for a few months! After checking in we had a short briefing then dinner. On returning to the hotel, we quickly passed out. This morning, awakened by the early sunlight and pigeons, we felt refreshed. Today is a lazy day. A welcome dinner and briefing is on schedule tonight. Weather here is good, not too hot with fairly clear skies. Most folks fly out to start the trek portion early tomorrow. We will follow in 2 days, eventually catching up to the group enroute. The plan is to arrive at base camp around April 7th or so. That's all for now!
