Welcome to the travels of Carol and Jim.
We'd like to share our perspective of the world with you.
It is often off-center and usually irreverent. The letters were written as a way for us to keep details of the trip fresh, but eventually started working their way to friends and family and became unwieldy to manage. Many of the letters have been lost along the way before I was convinced to organize them into this blog by my daughter.
The trips are archived into separate units with each date representing a trip and all the letters from that trip are included in the folder itself. They all read top down.
Enjoy, and always remember to live large and prosper,
Carol and Jim

And now to the back side of the moon

Hello to All;
We're in Shiatse ready to start the trekking part. We do so with anticipation and trepidation.
I have a letter written describing the incredible last two days, but can't connect my laptop and don't have time to rewrite the whole thing since we're out of here.

I remember when the first Apollo moon shot took place they didn't know if they would slingshot back with the moon’s gravitational pull or if they'd just keep on going. When they hit the back side of the moon they were out of communication until they reappeared on the other side.
And so it is with us. We're starting our trek not knowing how it will go. We may just not reappear from the other side and with no way to communicate with anybody, but hopefully on June 2nd we will reappear in Katmandu and I will be able to send all the notes I will keep on my laptop during the trek.
In the meantime, love to all and happy trails.
Carol and Jim
