F Bombs In F’in Kathmandu

Another day stuck in Kathmandu, and nobody is happy about it. Cloud cover over Lukla delayed and then cancelled flights from Kathmandu, including ours. We are learning, that this is not very uncommon. We are back at the Hotel. We are all going to meet at 6pm for dinner and a briefing. We can still make base camp, if we can get up to Lukla tomorrow. We will have to be a little more aggressive on the ascent, as long as everyone is acclimating well. We are trying to stay optimistic. There are a few contingency plans, we will discuss tonight; charter a chopper (about an additional $500+ /person, but not sure if there are guarantees about landing in Lukla, need to find out), trek Annapurna , extend the trip and change our return flights home. We will see what happens, continue to wish us luck. We are all thinking of tossing out Buddhist prayer strings.
