    As many of you already know, I’m about to hike to the base camp of Mount Everest.  Just a few days left before I leave. It’s been hard with schoolwork, training, packing and so much more, but I’m so excited. I can’t believe I’m leaving on Friday. I’m pretty much packed now except for a few things that I left out.  I have so much gear, it took me, my mom & my grandfather almost 10 minutes just to zip it up! I’m almost done getting ahead with my school work. That has been one of the hardest things, because it’s near the end of the year, so I’m missing some end of the year projects. Overall, I’m excited and nervous for my trip.

    Here is me next to my packed bag.

You will see and experience things that very few people on earth have had a chance to see or experience. I know you are a little nervous but you and I will tackle all obstacles.
