See you in Nepal

Well the day is finally here! I can't believe it, less than a year ago this project was just one of the many distant idealistic plans I tend to make from day to day (they all tend to be related to the awesome things I'm going to do once dental school is no longer the dictator of my life). However, this one is really happening now, great success! Take that dental school!

So we've finally gotten our itinerary as cemented as it's going to get, after many changes and fine tunings I'm really excited and happy with it. We'll be staying within Nepal, but I think this is best since travel there can be so time consuming and unreliable, especially during monsoon season (which is in fact not like what I was led to believe by the movie Jumanji). Here is how it stands now:

Disclaimer: Upon further review I'm just about the least articulate person, if you know me you are quite aware of this, so take this blog for what it is, which is basically thoughts as they come into my head. Ok that's all I'm saying about that...enjoy!
