Time to Go!
At the time this post is being published, I am to be boarding an airplane bound for Los Angeles, California. No turning back. Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it. The trek I’ve been contemplating for a long time, is underway, “The Dominion of Everest” with Jim Klobuchar’s Adventures travel club.
For the next 3 weeks you will be able to track my progress here by automated posts I’ve scheduled in advance. I will provide a description from our itinerary, plotting where we expect to be, and an occasional thought or two, to help you track where I will be until I return to post ‘live’ again toward the end of April.
Day 1, April 2
Depart from Minneapolis headed for Los Angeles. Depart Los Angeles on Thai Airways.
This will be a challenge for me, to not be able to be very physically active for such a prolonged stretch. Luckily, I sleep just fine on airplanes. We cross the international dateline over the Pacific.
Relative Something 
John is alive and well thanks to his luck of the draw, resulting in a seating assignment next to me. I’m on my second trek to the Himalayas; as a result, I was excited to talk to another trekker, especially one visiting the high himal for the first time. Regardless of what he says, I did shut up and let him sleep part of the time, but I also taught him a few sentences in Nepali, listened to his version of life and heard enough about his writing and poetry to lure me to his blog. Although I am headed in a different direction, our paths may cross again unless he sees me coming and takes another route. Life is fun!
