My husband, Dave, has acquired a 1 year teaching job at the Center for Buddhist Studies at the Rangjung Yeshe Institute, part of Kathmandu University. We will be moving to Boudnath (a couple of miles from Kathmandu) in one month with our daughter, who will then be 7 months old. As this will be my first trip to Asia, I thought this blog might be a good way for me to process this crazy and exciting adventure, and a good way for our family and friends to stay in touch.
Our itinerary is as follows. We depart from Chicago on August 18th at 8:30pm, and arrive in Abu Dhabi at 7:25pm on August 19th (a 15 hour flight). We'll stay the night in Abu Dhabi, and then back to the airport for a 1:40pm flight, arriving in Kathmandu at 7:45pm on August 20th. Given the time difference of 9 hours, 45 minutes (what's that about?), we will have traveled a total of 37 1/2 hours! I can only hope the baby is a good traveler!
