Well, time is running short, but I am ready to go. Aris and Athan helped me do my final gear check. They were a great help. It doesn’t look like a lot to me but I am way over my weight limit. I am going to take it all and sort it out in Kathmandu.

Michelle, Aris, Athan and I had a great time relaxing and watching NCAA basketball Friday night. Unfortunately, Iowa State went down. My time with my family feels really short now. Saturday will be a hard saying goodbye. Boy I love my family and will miss them.
