For: Soha

I can't believe how close you are! I'm sure you're doing it to, but all those months of conference planning, family planning, wedding planning, trip planning.... And finally you're making the big push!i sure you're hope you're feeling the surge of relief along with the surge of elation. No matter all that went on, all that you accomplished, all that you helped make happen ... Each one will be recalled with - "remember that year you climbed Everest and... " !! Who gets to say that?! All

Hi Mom, Today C found out that he has 3 herniated discs and a few bulging ones thrown in for good measure. So I guess he wasn't faking! Everything else remains relatively quiet, "relatively" being the operative word. Dad is coming up tomorrow for dinner, we'll have a toast for you and drink some wine in your honor. Hope your cold is a little better and that you are feeling strong. Safe climbing, can't wait for the next update! Love, Bianca

Onward and upward....one step at a time! Have fun, be safe!

Hi Mom! I wasn't aware you knew all these famous people! What in the world? I was so glad that today was Friday! Man o Man! Hanging out tonight in my cape sweats with the puppers and Mike watching Twlight Zone. Love you and Miss you!

For: Becky and Terry

Wow! You make us seem so lazy and out of shape...hmm Have a wonderful time ...thinking of you!

It looks like the NSA has hijacked my previous post. I'll deal with them when I get out of rehab. Good luck tomorrow. Stay strong!

Almost there. So exciting. Best to all on the final leg to high point and then base camp. BTW, UPS guy wants to know if deliveries should be made to base camp. Wasn't sure about the recent lull in deliveries. Hi to all. And thanks to Rick for taking good care of the climbers.

For: Soha and All

The real fun is about to begin! Or by the time you got this, maybe it already happened :) Enjoy your climb, I am sure it will be as rewarding as it is tough! Can't wait to see all (40) of the pics. Saw a story about Everest on a teacher's desk yesterday that the kids were going to read and it made me think of all of you - you're living it! Hope you get some R&R after the hike and views...I can't wait to hit my couch tonight, and I won't have been at 18,500 feet :)

For: Lise

GO LISE! Almost there. Great Job to you & ALL.

For: Soha & Team

Awwww yeah!! So close you can SEE it!! Happy climbing! I can't wait to see the pictures, I'm sure they're amazing.

Trust Mayank Fua to keep you updated about US politics. The stars in the night sound surreal! Good going! Soak in every moment. Xoxoxo

For: Adventureous gang

sounds like you all are having nice time up high. Best wishes for next target Kala Pathar. the highest point of the trip. All is well in USA except ongoing political bickering about Obamacare. stock market is booming-highest level ever like Dow at 15800. you all may find your investments jumped up quite a bit in last 10 days.so can start planning next trip with Rick to some other mountain. Cold here in Ohio 30's. Tell Soha all is well.
