Kathmandu, Nepal
Long day of medical presentations (Acute Mountain Syndrome, hypothermia, frostbite) and logistical briefings as tomorrow we leave the comfort of the Hotel Yak and Yeti and fly to Lukla to begin the trek.

Kathmandu: Day 1

Kathmandu, Nepal
The flight from China to Nepal was pleasant. Transportation from the airport to my hotel took forever and ended up being somewhat scary.
Greetings From China

Guangzhou, China
There is precious little to say at this point as I haven’t even made it to Kathmandu, but I’m plumb in the middle of a 14-hour layover in Guangzhou and I’m bored out of my mind. The China Southern Airlines lounge is nice, if rather empty. Just me and my lounge chair.
Off To Nepal & Thailand

Well, the federal government buggered up my contract work at Fort Irwin. The Brigade Combat Teams scheduled to rotate through there in March and April have been canceled, thus, I have no work until May. I guess I could cut back on spending, tighten my belt, and eat boxed mac ‘n cheese for two months, or I could go on a 3 1/2 week trip to Asia. Tough call, that.
