I have talked with Richard and Gaye about the experience in Nepal with the concern that all of the activity will be really stressful. Traveling so far to get there, dealing with the extreme time zone shift, and getting into the country of Nepal will definitely be a shock to the system, no way to avoid that. It’s going to be a bit of work keeping track of documents, equipment, and people too. We have a pretty good feeling that we’re logistically prepared though (except for the fact that I still have no passport). Gaye assures me that once we get up above Lukla and the jitters wear off we’ll set out on a very conservative pace. We’ll have two young teenagers with us, so we plan to hold way back on the daily pace. We’ll get a little routine going, and we’ll soon find that we only have a little light physical exertion, and that mentally we’ll be free to let the stress clear out that we brought with us.
