Hi. Welcome to corodocsescape blog which is really just a fancy name for Bryan and I heading to Nepal and India. I thought a blog might be a good idea, not that I care if anyone reads it, but because I am an obsessive writer when I travel and it seems a good as place as any to keep my thoughts in order. Hopefully I'll even get Bryan to upload some photos. And if any of you do read it thats great and all comments will be appreciated.

The Himalayas" the roof of the world", the Annapurna circuit, Ladahk, Rajasthan "the land of kings" evocative mystical names. I've read about them but never really thought I'd get there. At this stage I still don't feel like I'll get there but since the tickets are booked to Kathmandu for next Tuesday night elusive dreams seem closer to becoming reality.

Nine weeks of trekking and travelling. Feeling rather nervous right now really. Will the dodgy ankle , the creaky knee and the oversensitive gut hold out? Will I cope without seeing Lisa, Christina, Chico and Coromandel for that long (somehow Matt is coming with us to Nepal).
Will Bryan let me hire a sherpa to carry my pack up the Himalayas? That was the argument this morning anyhow.

I'm sure there will be a few stories to tell. If you are interested tune on in and if not it means you dont get inundated with photos on facebook. As you have probably worked out I can get a bit effusive. No apologies and the ebullience will just keep on mounting me thinks.
