The Countdown Begins

We wanted to do something really special for our one year anniversary coming up on August 1st. Brian gave me the go ahead to plan our vacation. I had so many ideas, from staying with a tribe in figi to volunteering at a bear conservatory in Cambodia. I thought back to our past travels and our favorite and most memorable adventure was our trek to Machu Picchu. The history, nature, and culture combined with the physical challenge were what we loved about the trip. That is where the idea of Everest Base Camp developed. I was surprised that Brian actually agreed to do the 18 day trek reaching 18,000ft at Everest Base Camp. With less than 2 months to prepare we will need to begin training soon and hard! We will keep you posted on our preparation and hopefully during our trip as well.
