After over a year of planning, training, and getting excited, it's finally here! Somehow, we got through the crazy week, where it seemed like everything that could go wrong, did go wrong. But, it's all worked out, or we've been able to plan around it.
My busted foot is healing, still multicolored with bruises, but far less swollen. Hopefully it will continue to get better before we start trekking. My hand is still sore, and probably going to scar (awesome), but it did scab, and will hopefully be almost gone before we start the trek. We weren't able to get the xterra back (huge thank you to the jackass who threw the rock through the window), but we have a friend picking it up and we were able to super shuttle it to the airport. Our bags were far too big for both the trek and the plane, but Brian's friend brought us new ones last night. Granted, packing everything at 9am was an adventure, but at least we found out in time and fixed it. Even my work project came together well (I hope) and got sent off this morning.
It's still going to be an interesting time to travel to Nepal and Everest, with everything that's happened with the avalanche. Luckily, the treks have not been impacted...yet. Hopefully the Sherpas and the government can come to an agreement soon.
The super shuttle ride was an adventure in itself...we had a ton of bags and of course it was full. And I'm pretty sure the driver took the most inefficient route through the city. And then the last people tried to fight with her over something. Good times! But we made it. Check in was painless, thank you Korean air. Security was smooth, and we're at the gate in plenty of time. And, we're pretty much the only people at the gate. Sounds like the perfect time for a glass of wine...5pm somewhere...haha...
And our adventure begins at 167 feet of altitude...over and out, until next time...or I get back.
