Almost Time!

We are at 5 days away from leaving and all of the planning is finally coming together.



One of the ways we are trying to give back and help on our trip is to collect and donate books for school age children in rural Nepal that is serviced by a Book Bus program.  Link  We have 100 pounds of books currently and are hoping to double that by the time we leave on Wednesday, March 22nd to help as many kids as we can.  The books range from early readers to American History and geography.  All should be very helpful and informative for eager learners.

Our Journey

Our trip consists of departing from Minneapolis to Chicago, a layover in Chicago for a few hours and then continuing on a 14 hour flight to Abu Dhabi which is the Capital of the United Arab Emirates. Then we have a layover of about 2 hours and then onto a 4 hour flight to Kathmandu.

In Kathmandu we will meet up with members from the Book Bus / Quixote's Cove office and see those behind all of the good that is being done for the school children of rural Nepal.

A few days later we will head west and begin our 9 day trek to Annapurna Base Camp and topping off in altitude at around 4,130 meters (13,545ft).

We can't wait to get to meet new people, see some amazing sights, experience new cultures, challenge our minds and bodies and help those that we have the ability to!
