Passing the time.....Mt flight anyone

So on Sunday we are back in Kathmandu but I dont feel hot and so we just lay low. Dont go out
much, ate room service at night. 

We did how ever get an email from our travel agent in the US saying that they had confirmed 
tickets for us to come home on Tuesday instead of Wed. We were so happy, but knew we had to 
get our act together for Monday because we had some things left to buy and people we wanted to
see etc... We also wanted to take a Mt. flight. This flight takes you right up to Mt. Everest and along
the whole range of the Himalaya's. What could be better than that???

So we had Shree call and book us the flight. We would get up early the next morning, at 5am, and 
be at the airport about 6, it was so foggy that the taxi driver, whom I am sure had been to the airport many, many times, got confused and what not sure where to turn.

Needless to say the flight was delayed because of weather, we were supposed to take off at 7am but they delayed until 8:15, then it was 9:15 and then 9:30. When we decided to leave they were saying they would take off around 10am, but this time Sujina was going crazy because she could not get down and play or crawl around.

When they delayed the plane until 9:15 we decided to go up to the airport coffeeshop and get some tea and maybe something simple to eat eggs etc.... We ordered some hotchocolate and two
omelets with cheese. When we got our hot chocolate before I took one drink there was a small cockroach floating on the top. Now I have seem a lot of bugs in my food from Africa, but after being sick so bad just two nights ago I could not eat or drink anything.  The omelets came and Paul started eating his, he soon stopped and said that the cheese was terrible.

We went back down to the waiting room and then Paul had to go to the bathroom and vomit!

Not the best way to start your morning! That was when we decided to cut our loses, turn in our ticket for a full refund and go have breakfast at the hotel.  We should have seen that this was the way things were going to go the whole day!
