Categories: Expedition Dispatches Everest BC Trek
Mark Tucker here in Nepal kicking off the RMI 2013 Mount Everest programs.
Our first wave of climbers are all here with bags intact. After a nice city tour and final preparations yesterday we have made our way to the Domestic airport. Right now we are at the boarding area and on standby due to a weather delay in Lukla, which is our flight destination. Not unusual for such a delay, so we will wait till weather conditions improve. A cup of tea and a book will hold us over for a while. No hurry. Looking forward to keeping you all up to date as best I can over the next couple of weeks / months / years.

Life should be about building great memories. Bill & Susie, you have already built some fantastic ones, but this trek will add another extremely interesting chapter!! That should be true for the entire team. Mark Tucker has had a lot of years of experience, but just from looking at the pictures so far, I doubt he will ever have a more attractive & enthusiatic group to work with. Have fun, be safe and may the “Luck of the Irish” be with you all. Lots of love, Tom & Karen
