Dear readers,
You may have picked up that I schedule posts (about a week) ahead of time. This allows me to enter a new country and get acclimated (financially, physically, emotionally, etc.) before sitting down at a computer.
I've fallen a bit behind, and am a few days from leaving on a 10-14 day trek in the Annapurna Sanctuary of Nepal, amongst the mighty Himalayas. Kathmandu is a trip, with daily power outages at any time, lasting an average of 4 hours. Tomorrow I take the bus west to Pokhara where I'll organize the trek. I've been told Pohkara is far quieter with scenic mountain and lake views. It also has about 8 hours of no electricity per day, and far more expensive internet access. I am currently unable to use my laptop due to some kind of problem I can't figure out with the AC connection.
So, to everyone out there who has been with me since the start, or just joined up recently, I am in a mad rush to write down all my thoughts from China AND capture the initial ones from arriving in Nepal. WOW….would be a good start for Nepal.
Please excuse any inconsistencies with layout, regularity of posts, and lack of imagery in the next few weeks.
Your travel bud,
Dave

You just enjoy your trip and have a safe journey!
Thanks Dan – I’m a bit calmer now that I’ve arrived in Pokhara. :)
Much more relaxed than the Thamel tourist area in the heard of Katmandu.
