I’m at the last real town on the way to Everest base camp, and although I’m at 11,600 feet, the internet is surprisingly strong (I guess going online at $17 a day keeps people off Facebook).  However, this will be the last time I’ll see a real town or internet for over a week as we trek further up.

While this post is proof that our turbulent flight to the worlds most dangerous airport landed safely, I will be offline for several days.  Probably a good thing as this altitude and trekking turns your brain into mush (and we’re not that high yet).

To keep everyones attention I devised a plan;  While I’m trekking I’m going to select a few post to go up automatically.  Not sure what yet… but know it’s going to be epic!

So hang in there!
