Have a safe trip and have fund Bye for now Jay Leppanen PS By the way Eric did you ever get a chance to see Matt's website with our group's photos? Its at www.theyellowball.com/everest
Response from Eric to Jay:
Jay:
Thanks for the note. Jake is staying home this year. I am in Nepal now in Namche Bazaar going up part way with the South side trekkers. Fly back to KTM tomorrow and then over to Beijing to meet the incoming folks for the Tibet side. We're trying something different this year, routing people in via Beijing instead of KTM, just in case things in Nepal went totally haywire. Anyway, it should put a new twist on the trip with a couple full days of sightseeing in Beijing before flying to Lhasa. Hope all is well!
