We're on our way!

Making the final preparations for the trip to Nepal. Cannot wait to get back, but also a bit nervous about the conferences. I've never really taught in such a large group before and hope I don't mess up or seem incompetent!
Managed to pack in 3 suitcases mostly full of donations, thank you to everyone who donated items/cash! Much appreciated!
We are always looking for more donations, hopefully to purchase more medical equipment ie. CT scanner, treadmills in the future.

Itinerary to KTM - fly from Toronto, to London (meet with Monica and have a quick tour of London), to Bahrain, then to KTM. Supposedly massive power outages now and up to near 50 hours of no electricity. Our target airport has been closed down due to resurfacing of the runway so we have to fly in and out of Pokhara and then drive 4-10 hours to Tansen. I hate roadblocks.
