packing, packing packing...its hard to pack for the lowland jungles and the weather at Everest Base camp in the same backpack. Would you believe i have one pair of northface pants, one hippy skirt and one pair of shorts for a whole month! Along with my layers with include base layers, mid layers and fleece then breathable,wind reisitant layers.
My decicsion to go to Nepal was a easy one. I love the mystery and spirituality of Asia and my trip to Tibet last year solidified that I had to come back to this part of the world and soon.
I find it amazing that i can write this journal for everyone to see. During my first trip to Asia in 1996, all we could do was look through our Lonely Planet guides for semi-reccomended accomodation and take our chances. We could e-mail, but e-mail hadn't quite caught on to everyone, so my parents bore the brunt of my travel blog of the time. I remember calling my sister Vicki from a satellite phone in Thailand, just so excited to be there and back in Eastern Canada they were in a midst of the infamous icestorm...got a bit of info from the newspapers in Thailand but that was it....all i knew that i was safe on this tropical paradise island in the middle of the Indian Ocean having the time of my life!
This trip is starting with me and ending with me. My yoga practice has inspired me to go to my own edge with strength and confidence. I don't expect to return to Vancouver with some secret ancient wisdom, because I already have found a bit of that!
I am excited and nervous at the same time but confident i will accomplish my goal of "just being there".
namaste...
