Long Road to Nepal

Bleary-eyed we stirred from the short night in Portland Oregon to begin an expedition that would stretch over six weeks. The most important mission of thistrip is to create a film that will generate support to build and maintain a hospital. The second mission is to climb Island Peak and the third mission is connect as an expedition in one of the most incredible places on earth.

Promptly, our flight coursed through the short two hours to San Fransisco. After an hour layover we flew through a stunning array of ice bergs and mountains as we skirted the southern tip of Alaska before landing in Korea and finally Singapore, where I now write. All told we have been traveling for 20 hours. The next flight takes us to Kathmandu; land where tropics meet mountains.

So, we begin... We will be meeting Shannon Gibb in Kathmandu.

Till next dusty cafe...
