Lisa was *so* excited about Nepal. I know this because I can't think of a single time we talked this year when the Nepal trip *didn't* come up. "I am sooooo excited," in her characteristic trill. She sent me/us the email below on September 28 - definitely look through her posts there.


At the Tacoma Mountaineers branch banquet on October 18, several of us were worried after the recent avalanches that her group was impacted, and she hadn't posted anything for several days. We were relieved to find out she was ok and enjoyed her final posts.


I particularly like her October 7 post that begins...


"It is the afternoon before I begin my journey to Nepal and I am reflecting on the steps that lead me here. At first I started my reflection my timeline began about a year ago, when I committed to go on this trip. Then I realized that decision was just a point in time in the continuum of a lifelong adventure."


I will miss that huge irrepressible smile.

Hey friends...

Not all of you are on FB, or you might have missed my message there, but I am going to try to blog about my trip. I will likely have some level of service for several weeks and hope to tell some stories. Due to the cost of uploading photos I think I will have to add those after I get back. I hope to add one or two more entries before I leave on OCT 8 to NEPAL!!!
