Arrival in Kathmandu

Heading Off: Our departure date finally arrived: Mon 23rd April. In our party was Keita Ikeda ('Ike'), David MacLeod & Nick MacLeod (17 year old student attending Carolina Friends School). We arrived at RDU airport with 6 heavily-laden Pelican cases, knowing already that we exceeded our luggage allowance. The cases contained all of our equipment to run our section of the studies at the Pyramid Lab: including two blood gas analyzers, central & arterial lines. Other than the clothes we wore, any additional clothing was carried in our hand luggage. The plan was to reach Kathmandu & buy any additional clothes in the markets.

Route: RDU to JFK, then overnight flight to Doha, Qatar. Further stopover (with time to watch the Chelsea - Barcelona game) before finally reaching Kathmandu on Wed morning.
