Preparations

Hello Beloved Friends and Family,
    As I'm sure many of you know by now, from my seemingly endless banter on the state of affairs in the secluded, mountainous South of Asia, I'm heading off in just over a week to spend 5 months in the mystical land of Nepal! 
    I decided to start a blog for the duration of the trip to: first, make sure my mothers know I'm alive; second, make it easy to reach everyone at once so I'm not writing a million and a half emails every time I make it to a computer (you say lazy, I say try having an immediate family to rival Genghis Khan's); and most importantly, to share the experience of a life time (Uncle Dick, don't be too jealous when I break out the pictures of the Himalayas.) After all what would the joys in life be worth if we could not share them with the ones that we love.  
    So, I will be updating this page as often as I can, maybe once every two weeks, with photos and stories of life half way across the world. Tune in when you get a moment and let me know how the US is. 
    Missing you all already!
          Love Abounding, Emily
