4 hours walking takes you Lukla and has many shops, pool houses, electricity and you will have nice hot showers. There will not have any day flight to Kathmandu at noon.
Day 18
Fly to Kathmandu O/N in Hotel Vaishali
They should be arriving home tomorrow evening. We are all very excited. I'm curious to see if they really 'didn't lose any weight. So curious to hear their experiences, their trials, their accomplishments. I was thinking last night how many 13 year old girls can say they have climbed to base camp Everest. Mo will be in a very small minority as will the rest of the 'boys' eventhough it is more common for men to climb. Anyway, get ready for the onslought of Everest pictures once they are downloaded and ready to post. R told me he took over 2000 pics as did Dave and Allan. R was also supposed to be taking video journals with the cam corder, hopefully I can figure out how to load them onto the blog and you can experience true "survivor" moments.
Stay tunes to find out who gets voted off the mountain next! :)

I can't wait to see the photos. I expect all 2000 photos and the video footage. I can't wait to see who the winner is!
This has been fun to follow!
On another note: I passed your "twin" today. She was driving a beat up Rabbit with a young girl (car seat-less) in the passenger seat. I did a double take, then realized there's no WAY it would be you. I never properly thanked you for the car seat you gave us before you moved. It's the best I've ever had. Thank you! (And it's always used. You won't find MY little one in the front!) :-)
Holy moly! I can't wait to see pictures!
Helloooooo...anybody out there? It's been weeks since there's been a post. Dawn, of the Donz, is interested in more! What up?
