Why?

I have always had a fascination with Mt. Everest...books..movies...documentaries...

Did I ever want to climb Mt. Everest..no way!....Heights frighten me..no "exposure" or rock climbing for me..if I can walk up it...it works....but no climbing!

BUT still a fascination......

So....how did this trek idea come about?

I work with Wings Seminars (www.wings-seminars.com).....have participated in the seminars and been on and managed support teams since 1988. This past august I participated in an upper level seminar called "Integrate". It is advertised as: INTEGRATE is an inward journey. INTEGRATE directly assists one to stretch farther than he/she may have ever stretched before to claim new range in the mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual aspects of his/her life.

As part of my participation I developed an "Action Plan" for six months following the seminar. My short story is that the "physical" and "spiritual" parts to my Action Plan expanded and as I happen to read about treks in Nepal...particularly a trek to the Base Camp of Mt. Everest.....I said "why not".

So there..you have it....
