Hello, Mountain Zone. This is Mark Holbrook in Kathmandu, Nepal. All team members have arrived safely and we're now into our hotel, Hotel Nirvana. Luckily all our baggage got in. No problems getting through customs. Everything's working out good. We're working on sending you guys some pictures and sending you a first email. So, be expecting that here shortly. Everybody's in good health, good spirits. We've stocked up on the scotch and we're ready to do some skiing. So, we'll probably going to be in Kathmandu for about three days and we'll be talking to you guys later. Just checking things out right now. Have a good afternoon. Bye. Mark Holbrook, MountainZone.com Correspondent
Email Dispatch, September 13, 1999 Hi, Mountain Zone! This is a very dazed Andrew McLean writing in from the roof of the Nirvana Hotel in Kathmandu. After something like 24 hours of travel, we have finally herded all 30+ bags of luggage into our rooms and have settle down for a three-day stay in Nepal. Aside from flying literally halfway around the world, the flight itself was fairly nondescript. For your viewing pleasure, I have attached a photo of Conrad Anker experiencing a tooth crown blowout at 2am in the Amari Hotel, Bangkok, Thailand. More soon...
