Change of Plans - Lukla's Out!

Quick update from the airport in Kathmandu. Poor weather in Lukla has
suspended the flight and of the 8 flights that took off this morning,
only 3 landed and the rest had to turn back. Some of the local staff
that was able to fly out highly recommended we do not fly today due
the heavy turbulence. Regardless, the airline cancelled the flight
and we're on plan B. This afternoon we are going to fly to the town
of Phaplung which is a 3 day trek / hike from Lukla. Although it adds
more days to our trek to base camp, at least we get out of the city
and into the mountain. Cheers and thanks to everyone for there
emails.

Un breve resumen desde el aeropuerto en Kathmandu. Mal tiempo el
Lukla ha suspendido nuevamente los vuelos y de 8 vuelos que salieron
esta manana, solo 3 atterizaron y el resto tuvieron que regresarse.
Parte del grupo local que logro volar a Lukla recomendaron que no
volaramos hoy debido a las condiciones de vuelo y mucha turbulencia.
De todas maneras, la decision la tomo la aerolinea, cancelando los
vuelos y vamos a proceder con el Plan B. Esta tarde vamos a volar a
un pueblo llamado Phaplung que queda a tres dias (trek / hike) de
Lukla. Aunque nos agrega mas dias a nuestro trek / hike al campamento
base, nos aseguramos llegar, salimos de la ciudad y damos inicio a la
expedicion. Saludos a todos y gracias por los correos.
