There has got to be a better title for this than “Leeeeeaving on a jet plane!” March 26, 2008
The Latest , trackbackNine days from today, I’m packing my backpack with four shirts, two pairs of pants, the appropriate underwear, a first aid kit, notebook for prophecies, and a borrowed camera. Then, Comrade Chuck (who will be sporting a similarly assembled backpack) and I will board a plane and eleven days from today, God willing, we’ll find ourselves in Nepal. We’ll hike, bike, scooter, swim, canoe, raft, and otherwise transport ourselves across the country for three glorious weeks of vacation. We also intend to sleep in hostels, I mention this just because it sounds so cool! We’re stoked!
Prayers are much appreciated, especially since the elections are happening smack dab in the middle of our trip, then there’s the Maoists and stuff. Pray also for my lungs and appendages; Chuck is a supreme fitness practitioner who is going to be running up and down the Himalayas the whole time, I’m hoping to just make it to the top of whatever mountains we climb in one living piece. As anyone who knows me will testify, this will involve much prayer in order to happen.
We’ll be seeing you all later and el blog will be very boring unless sister Steph decides to update it. Will also try to crank out an Interview of the Month before I leave.
So now, when the Enemy comes with around with his discouragement, trying to tell me how uncool I am, I’m gonna be all like “Yo, I backpacked through Nepal. Get outta my face!”

I’d love to see them, really I would, as the two of you together going across europe has got to be the best thing that happened over there in a while.
Love you both!! good luck!
Heh, thanks Lei. It’s more Nepal than Europe that we’re backpacking through - someday we’ll do Europe. Although with the way the dollar is sliding I doubt we could afford to stay in Europe for very long.
I’m only going to run to the top of the mountains so I can rip off my clothes, and lie in a freedom-full eagle sprawl, - thousands of miles away from anyone who would mock and scoff.
When I hear your footsteps approaching - I’ll glean a few blades of grass to cover the most precarious areas.
I’m hoping the hostels are like the ones in “Eurotrip”
(If the building catches on fire from the fireworks factory underneath, you will all be incinerated along with the valuables you have hidden in your anus.)
How so very cool. I can’t wait to see your pictures.
