Heli Ride Out

Hey all,

So here’ s the scene...we’re hanging out in our tea-house room waiting to hear about our flight out of Lukla with no clue when we would be able to fly out when there is a knock at the door and the lady from the tea house says we can leave NOW on the rescue heli if we hurry! The rescue heli? Yippie!! As it turned out, Fishtail Heli Service evidently had some open seats in the bird since the owner of the tea-house was headed down to kathmandu and they wanted to fill it up. Turn out the tea-house owner also owns the helicopter…very nice! So, we crammed everything in our bags and took off for the heli pad, and then off to Kathmandu! The flight was 52 minutes long and it was amazing! Hopefully we can post some pictures of the flight soon.

Okay, so even on our way home, the epic continues. We are trying to change our tickets to depart out of hear soon...its doesn’t look like it’s going to be easy, so if we fail we’re going to look at elephants in the Chitwan nation park...go figure.

Will know soon enough? Ok, take care, be safe and will be in touch...
