You are so right about the protection thing. I remember when Aja (my girl) was born and already knew she was OUT in the world and I could only do so much. It's like that umbilical cord is about a mile long and we just keep snipping at it! Hope you are well.

I remember seeing a film about Everest base camp last year and it was busier than Blackpool! Sounds like she's surrounded by useful contacts and experienced fellow travellers.

There are ...I agree with so many of these comments. There are things I prefer NOT to know! My son had a book delivered here about some of the mountain treks he does in the Tien Shan range, and told me I'd be really interested to read it. I wasn't and I didn't after page four. Sometimes ignorance is more blissful.<br />At his age I was working in Saudi Arabia. Sometimes the post got through, more often it didn't, and telephones never worked. My parents had no idea what I was up to (and I never told them afterwards!).Relatively Retiringhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07648407316162715318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5266224907043302947.post-62939185785710576332015-11-10T07:51:03.645+00:002015-11-10T07:51:03.645+00:00Oh what wonders she will see, and she will make me...Oh what wonders she will see, and she will make memories that will last a life time, I am sure she will remember the experience all her life, lucky her! doesn't stop you worrying though!

High altitude headaches usually disappear after a time of acclimatization - I used to live at 9500 feet and visitors would often complain of them. Tea and soup would have helped hydrate her and that's a good thing.

Yippee! More to worry about! Ah well, that's progress for you! But you can be very proud of your Wanderer, I'm sure she is having the time of her life and will bless this opportunity for years to come.

Her guide carried her pack on the last very hard day so she could get to the lookout to see the sun rise on Mt Everest and even took photos of her unasked when she says she was past caring. I think they( the girls ) are crazy but apparently they love it !<br /><br />Helsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15136273834165751276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5266224907043302947.post-37136881016458359612015-11-08T17:31:42.421+00:002015-11-08T17:31:42.421+00:00I'm sure she'll be fine, but I bet you'...I'm sure she'll be fine, but I bet you'll be relieved when she returns.
