Viewing Post for: Everest Base Camp 2013

Date: November 20, Wednesday
Location: Lukla, yeah! 9300 feet.

We are all together again. Tom, Damaroo and Ed are with us again. Everyone is excited and relieved to be done hiking. Planes have been flying so no back up. Hot showers were awesome!

It is hard to believe we are done hiking. Seems long and short. Tomorrow we expect to be flying.

We will post one more time from Kathmandu when we are there. Hard to think of what to say except we are grateful for our health, the beauty of this place and our group.

Soha/Dad - great hearing your voices last night. Rick - a super huge thanks for all you do for your traveling companions :) All - Enjoy, relax, and have safe travels back. Hopefully you'll catch the next round of football and won't be relying on random updates that focus solely on the Cincinnati Bengals!

Glad you guys had a successful trek for your honeymoon! We can't wait to see more pics on Facebook after you get home. Love the posts from Quinn. You'll have to lookup "Sad Dog Diaries" on YouTube when you get home for a good laugh and to delve deeper into the canine psyche. Safe flying! We'll call on Turkey Day.
