Hope you are feeling better and are in a little warmer weather. Saw your photo and you look great. We're heading to NC for Thanksgiving but will be in touch. Vince was here last night for dinner. Can't wait til it's the four of us again xxxxx

Melissa, Hope you are feeling fine and having a wonderful time. Our big adventure of the day was climbing Bristol in some snow. Not real snow. They have been testing the snow guns. Maybe hike it with you after Thanksgiving!

For: All

Glad to learn you all are in Lukla and have reunited with others. Have a nice rest and trip tomorrow to Kathmandu

For: Melissa

Hi, Melissa. Hope all is well and that you have a safe trip back down. Judging by the blog entries, I'm guessing you are have quite an amazing adventure. Can't wait to hear all about it and see all the pictures. Stay safe.

We hope you have had a safe and wonderful trip. Looking forward to hearing about your adventure upon your return. I read some of the posts...yes...Bengals struggled in the first Q but came thru...whew! Be safe. We'll see you soon. Sounds like an amazing experience. RSM, JG, RE

Hi Mom, Sounds like you are seeing some incredible sights and meeting great people. We are on our way to Columbia with both boys in tow. We had to leave at 6:30am to get into NYC by 9am. Poor doc won't know what hit him when my whole crew walks in! Garret has decided that Bhutan is his favorite sovereign nation because they measure their economy with by the GNH, the gross national happiness. Anyway, enjoy your last few days in Nepal! Love you! -Bianca

Well, you all are coming near all of us after such a wonderful experience and climb up and down. Looking forward to hear all. Take care.

For: Soha

Well since Ruchi told you my sad news (yes the Pats lost aka the game was stolen from them!) to make myself feel better I scored some Monday night football tix for next week! And sounds like you all have had an amazing couple of days. It's crazy that in the land of yetis, yaks and monks you're posting to Facebook! Someone recorded that chants? Can't wait to read more.

Thank you so much for the pen, it is a very thoughtful gift that will be put to good use. My favorite gifts have always been those that are unique and individualistic because something made by hand is the culmination of hard work and effort, in contrast to run of the mill items everyone else owns. Thank you again and I am glad to see that you are on your way back down. Mike

Hi mom! Yeah your working on coming home! I tried to surprise Mike with his birthday gift and Wesley heard me outside and started barking! When I gave him your gift I made him guess and he got it right! How do you and he do it every time!? He loved it! It's so unique! We're off yo Birthday Dinner at Micastia's with Amanda and her boyfriend. Love you and Miss you! 5 more days!!
