Just wanted to give a quick update on our whereabouts and plans so people know where we are. We're back in Kathmandu at the moment. Took a brutal 8-hour bus ride from Pokhara today. Tomorrow we face an even more brutal 9-hour bus ride to Dhunche/Syabresi - half of it on unpaved roads. Not psyched. These are the tougher days of travel; it is not all easy.
So we had a few days to relax and take care of errands after our first trek. Tomorrow we leave for the next one. We will be taking this next trek on our own, sans guide. We're confident it should be pretty straightforward. The area we are headed to is the Langtang Valley. It's a valley north of Kathmandu and only about 5 miles south of the Tibetan border. The people there are Tibetan in origin and ethnicity. There will be big peaks lining the valley - some over 7000 meters. We'll be pretty close to Shishapangma, an 8000 meter peak in China/Tibet but won't be able to see it. We may get a chance to scramble up a 'small Himalayan peak' if weather and conditions are OK. That will be a thrill if it happens but no big deal if it doesn't. We should be back in about 10-12 days before we fly to Malaysia on Dec 12th.
Take care and please give us a shout if you're reading this.

Hey Drew & Erin,
Wow sounds like your trip is getting more exciting each day and you're learning a lot which is so inspiring. Your thoughts have definitely made me think about living more simply, less waste, less stuff, esp. with Christmas coming up. Less is more sometimes.
On a less serious note- Drew, Festivus is coming up soon (Dec. 15th), we'll be sure to get the shaving cream out in your honor.
Take care,
Love, Janine
HI Drew and Erin,
You guys are great! What a trip so far and so much more to go. Things in Boulder are good, nothing new. So far no snow to speak of. Boland says hello and to stay safe.
Have fun!
Keith, Emily and Madeline (now 2mos old)
Thanks for the stories and the photos. It's generous of you to share your adventures and lessons learned with us. It seems that you are living life condensed... so much experienced in such a short time period already.
Erin- I want to make eBooks when I travel. Please do send links of yours as you go so I can get some ideas. This is a beautiful thing you are doing.
Love,
Kristin
Hi, D&E,
Yes, you both are so inspiring. I am intrigued that you were able to make eBooks so easily it seems. I guess I am taken aback by how quickly you both get to know the people and area you are visiting and are not afraid to do so. I applaud you.
I have shared your blog with the teacher who is taking my place this year in hopes he will share it with the class (on the SmartBoard) so the students can see the magnificent places and people you have seen which they will probably never otherwise see.
May God continue to bless you!
Love,
Kel, Kurt, and Mr. B
P.S. Mr. B got one of his top front teeth today. Now, he can take that off his Christmas list!

Hey Drew and Erin,
I've been slackin' off on keeping up with your blog but it doesn't take long to tell that you're having one awesome experience after the next. I imagine a few other of your readers would agree that what you're doing is inspiring in many ways.
Safe Travels,

Hey there,
Glad to hear you two are living the life and following your dreams! I have been reading about your adventures through Braeden's blog and am amazed at how brave the two of your are. Keep safe and don't stand too close to any cliffs (heights - YIKES!).
Safe travels,
Terry (Warpath!)
Hi!! We all miss you and love reading your posts. I am in Breckenridge now resting my sore muscles. It snowed 11 inches here yesterday so today was great!! I bought a pass this year and thought of you two going down the slopes today. Erin, I have tried to e-mail you back and for some reason we Thornees can't e-mail yahoo accounts right now. Love and miss you so much!!
Steph
Drew and Erin,
Happy belated Thanksgiving. Just had a chance to catch up on your blog. You guys sound like you are having a real life adventure. Just so you don't worry- the snow here hasn't been very good yet so you're not missing anything. Hope you continue to enjoy your travels. Can't think of anything cynical or obnoxious to say- so your spared on this comment.
Pat
Guys-
Awesome trip to date. Great to see and hear about your adventures.

Things are not dull here.
Looking forward to seeing and hearing more.

Hey you two,
I just wanted to say hi, and tell you how much we miss you. Sounds like an incredible trip so far...I can't wait to hear your first hand accounts when you return.
Aly and I are headed up to Steamboat for my birthday this weekend. I have some friends from NC flying in to ski. Should be lots of fun...wish you could be there (or rather, I could be there! :)
