We made it back to Namche Bazaar and are headed to Lukla tomorrow morning. We plan to fly back to KTM from Lukla on the 27th. Sorry for the lack of updates. My access to reliable internet has been about as frequent as my access to running water, electricity, showers, and heat. EBC was awesome and we've had good weather and incredible views the whole way!

Trek Day 2
today we made it to namache bazaar, our home for the next 2 days. The altitude gave me a run for my money on the first day, but I feel pretty good today. Ashley and Kathleen are apparently half sherpa, because it isn't bothering them at all. the hike in today was brutal, but tomorrow is a rest day to acclimate. we'll do a short hike to gain some elevation and hopefully get our first view of everest!

Trek day 1
Safely landed in Lukla (not as bad as everyone made it sound, but we did have a clear day). We're at a cafe getting situated with our guide and porters and having some breakfast. It is chilly, but sunny here. I didn't have the best view on the plane, but the mountains are incredible. Looking forward to getting into them!!
Happy new year
Today is Nepali new years eve! I stocked up on all new knock off gear and wacky clothes today. Still no knowledge of the whereabouts of my bag. Headed to lukla tomorrow morning to start our trek!
Good Internet and phone service is hard to come by.

New stuff
Still no bag or help from any competent airport people. I suspect that china is holding it hostage. Luckily, I've scored some sweet knock off north face gear, and will probably spend the rest of tomorrow re-purchasing ALL of my gear.

Nepal
Safely arrived at Kathleen's in Kathmandu; however, my baggage did not. Trying not to flip out, because it doesn't look promising. I might have to re-buy all my trekking gear here in Kathmandu...
