Hotel Tibet, Nepal

It’s so good to be back in Nepal!  It seems like just yesterday I was here!

The flight from Incheon went as planned and I arrived last night about 6 pm with all my luggage!  What a relief!  It helped watching another three movies to pass the time.  The selection this time consisted of “Truth,” “Steve Jobs,” and “Miss You Already,” (appropriate).  I liked all three.

Expedition leader, Greg Vernovage, welcomed me with a good strong hug, as he did ten or so others returning from both 2015 and 2014 mishaps.   There’s even someone returning from a 2012 failed attempt.  IMG’s climbing and trekking numbers are the same as usual, but many of the other guide services are down 50 percent or more.  It definitely won’t be as crowded this year.

He did a gear check with me before I went to bed to make sure I hadn’t forgotten anything.  I passed!!   It’s always fun playing with gear!
