A week to go

pre-trip weekend in Snowdonia

This time next week Sue and I will hopefully be at Heathrow meeting up with our group to fly out to Kathmandu via Delhi. This afternoon Roger set off on his trip and has hopefully now met with his fellow travellers at the airport. It felt rather strange saying goodbye knowing we won't meet up again for four weeks. I think I'm also going to have to remind myself that I have another week at work to go so I can't get too de-mob happy yet.

The work schedule looks particularly hectic so tonight I'm going to write my packing list and see if anything else needs to be bought - I hope not - I think I have bust the recession in consumer spending as a one-woman band.

I have no idea whether it will be possible to keep this blog while we are away - for my last trip in the Himalyas I wrote up the blog when I got home but it will be good to have the record so in any case I will give it a go.

Just as I was about to publish this post, Roger phoned from the airport. He is in the checkout queue and has met lots of Everest Base Camp people but not anyone from his group yet - that will doubtless happen. Although the instructions are to meet at the desk, the Jet Airways check is enormous so a Jagged Globe leader is rounding up people and getting them into line.

It all sounds exciting and I can't wait till next week!
