Hangin’ out in Abu Dhabi

By William Bakker | 11.23.05 | Comment?

We’re on our way back home and we’re on our first stop in Abu Dhabi. I talked myself into the first class lounge to use the internet but I feel somewhat underdressed. And if you know me, you understand what that means. We continued our airline bad luck streak by having a 4 hour delay right of the start in Kathmandu this time. As a bonus Sheri got violently ill last night (probably food poisoning) and believe me, the Kathmandu airport is not a good place to feel sick. Now you probably ask yourself why I’m hanging out in the first class lounge and let Sheri vent for herself with the plebs. Well, she’s feeling a lot better at the moment and the Abu Dhabi airport is a very nice place to sit anywhere so don’t worry; she’s fine. They even have a pharmacy so we got some killer drugs to keep her fluids under control and it seems to work.

We spend the last couple of days in Kathmandu not doing all that much. We just did some shopping and watched a lot of movies in the hotel to be honest. We felt we deserved it after the trek. So we didn’t venture very far. We did spend some time with our guides and their boss. I never expected I would leave Nepal with 3 new friends, because that’s what it feels like.

We should be back in Vancouver late on Thursday but there’s still 3 flights to go. If everything goes bad, hopefully it will be in Paris because I miss that city so much, you have no idea. But we’ll keep our fingers crossed.
