Namaste Friends,
A busy busy time these last few weeks! Retirement plans....parties....final trip logistics....packing books...gear...weighing loads....setting up the satellite/solar power/computer portable system...on and on!
From my teaching and counseling lesson plans......There are two kinds of Stress....Eustress(Good, beneficial, gets ya up in the morning stress)... and Distress(you all know what that is)
What I am experiencing is GOOD STRESS! The only way to describe it is.... it is like getting ready for a Big Athletic event....only triple the butterflies!
I get almost as much enjoyment from the logistical preparation, training, setup and flights.... as i get from the actual experience itself!
The weather conditions for our trek to Tapting.....monsoon season, muddy trails, delays and leeches! So the packing will be light...quick dry....same clothes at least for a few days at a time(No different than at home!).
My wife organized a wonderful retirement party! I was humbled by the number of friends and colleagues who turned out!
And....in lieu of some "knick Knack" gift she suggested a donation to our Education Project would be a better idea!
Well....those in attendence...through their generosity.....put my donations goal OVER THE TOP!
I am so grateful and feel so blessed!
All who have contributed to our first 2 projects will have their names displayed on a Plaque which will hang in the the newly completed Library in Tapting!
I leave Friday June 27th....arriving June 28th at 10 pm in Kathmandu.....We head out June 29th at 8 AM.
It is the way of Extreme Adventure Travel......Pedal To The Metal!
Myself,Amber Tamang, KB Tamang and the entire 3 Jewels Family want to Thank You all for your contributions of all the books and funds that have made all this possible!
Keep checking this site and we will be posting "Play by Play" pics and postings from the trail!
My Best to All
Tillie
