It was exciting to see that Nick Dean of The Post journal published the picture and article about Amber's brother Karna and his successful summit of Mt. Everest!
Amber sent me a detailed write up that he compiled from talking to his brother, which made the article even more special.
My date of departure has been changed. I am leaving two days earlier than planned. Amber emailed me and asked if it was possible....given that it monsoon season and flights to Phaplu can be delayed and/or canceled. Also our expedition size has grown! Along with amber and myself as well as our cameraman....we now have Karna and Ambers sister going along also! I am very excited and pleased as many of the family members will be now part of finishing the library project. Plus they will be able to spend time with family living in Tapting!
Amber and I are busy exchanging ideas about the layout for the Documentary. we are detailing scene shots,interviews, narrative script and the many other things that surroung the production of a documentary film.
To aid in all 3 Jewels Adventures&The Himalayan education development Project undertakings...we have purchased a satellite phone kit as well as a solar generator pack. So we will now be able to recharge all our equipment and call anywhere in the world...from anywhere in the world!
Most major adventure travel companioes have such setups.
I must admit that it will be of benefit to me as well. Often, on my extended trips to remote locations....i need to talk to Sue and the boys more than they need to talk to me!
After a few weeks on a remote trek...especially at high altitude...your mind starts "playing tricks' on you!
Laying in the tent...trying to fall asleep...thinking about home....i will get myself "worked up"....wondering if everyone is alright, if the house is still standing etc.etc.
A two minute "check in" can relieve so much of this needless worry....and let them know i am fine. It gives me a big boost!
You are welcome to call....if you want....when i am on treks and climbs as well. Just email Sue and she will give you the number!
So....we are extremely busy with all the Projects that 3 Jewels is engaged in....but we wouldn't have it any other way!
Carpe Diem!
