It's 10:55 pm Wednesday evening here in Hong Kong. Made it through customs, boarded the train from the airport to Kowloon, on the mainland across from Hong Kong Island. Been up since I left, for about a total of 27 hours (only 2 hours of sleep on the flight)
Had an interesting ride from the Kowloon train station to my hotel....had to give my driver directions!!! How funny is that! Luckily that is where all the planning comes in. I was able to look at his map in Chinese (Manadarin) and show him exactly where the hotel was.
The hotel is contemporary with small rooms and the service is incredible. I had some, I know....Wonton Soup for dinner. Excellent.
Bruce arrives tomorrow about 5 am, I plan on seeing him here at the hotel about 8. He has to wait until the trains start running to come into town. Then we meet up with Patric for our guided tour of Hong Kong.

Hi Guys,
Hope you're having fun and the real fun has yet to start!

Hi Guys,
Sounds like you're having way too much fun and we are jealous !!
When you are in Kathmandu, check out the great bookstore in the Thamel district. Can't remember the name but your guide will know about it. Also be sure to stop in to the Rum Doodle for lunch or dinner. That's where they have all the Everest summiters names up on the walls (where mine hopes to be some day !...Ha !!)
Enjoy the flight to Lukla and be sure to check out the end of the runway when you're landing : )
Sorry about the multiple posts but I didn't think they went through so I send them a few times.
Look forward to your next posts and tell Bruce that I also received his email so I know you guys are already in Kathmandu.
Keep on Trekin" !!! ...Ray
Hi Guys,
No doubt you are in Phakding by now. Isn't the country amazing ! Glad to hear things are going smoothly. As you head to Namche, typically, you'll have lunch before you attack the big hill. Word of advice...eat moderately. You don't want to "yak" on the yaks ! : ) Hope the weather has been good. You should have good internet access in Namche so looking forward to more details. I feel like I'm with you guys...All the best...Ray
