Greetings dear blog followers.
Another journey begins. Today I drove my car down to Sidney, took the ferry, a bus and the sky train – and here we sit at gate D65. Boarding will commence in a little less than two hours. This part of traveling is the hardest.
For those of you who don’t know – I’m off to Nepal. No surprise really. This trip will be mostly spent trekking in the Langtang region. The area was very badly damaged during the earthquakes. I was last there in 2013 so am expecting to see significant changes.
Stay tuned.
Good night from YVR.
I wanted to see you before you left for Nepal but unfortunely I have been sick so missed the opportunity to wish you well on your adventure. Travel safely.
Hi Brenda, so sorry you’ve not been well. Send me an email. (This is a public forum so you may not want to share.)
How fun!
I’m contemplating a writers’ workshop in Kathmandu in November, but concerned about all the flying from YVR. Where do you stop over, and do you recommend resting a day or more on the stopovers? I’m in my 60s, so my raring-to-go takes a bit longer now 😊
Hi Nancy. A writer’s workshop in Kathmandu sounds fabulous. A few pointers. Air quality in Kathmandu is often very poor. If you have respiratory issues, be ware. I too am in my 60s. The flight I take from YVR to Hong Kong is about 13 hrs. Brutal. When arriving in Hong Kong, either take a day or two, or book a day room or bed. Either option is expensive but to my mind worth while. The connection to Kathmandu by Dragon Air is about 5 hrs and arrives just after KTM 10pm. Hope that helps. Happy to provide more details if you wish.
The air quality info is important to me. I am very sensitive to smoke and pollution, so perhaps it’s not a fit. Thank you for letting me know. I will seriously consider the implications.
Have a wonderful time 🤗. I enjoy your blog very much. Safe journeys.
Bon Voyage. Be safe, be happy. Jim & Christine
Bon voyage, dear one. I agree with you about that part of traveling being the hardest.Exhausting.
Thanks Kim, be safe and have a great time. Nancy
