Yup, thursday - by some miracle the Courtyard is allowing me back. BTW, do the upgrade. I'll be going back to my savior, Mr. Foot later today so I'll get a card. But basically, across the road from Central World. Truly a miracle man.

Alas, kimmy won't be there Marija.

Hey, thursdaysd, when you contact Michelle to upgrade your room, remind her to plan a surprise birthday party for dogster on Tuesday. (No sleuthing, dogster, you told us last year.)

It's August 18th and by then, with luck, I'll be on top of a mountain in Phulbari where nobody, hopefully, will give a rat's A.

Surprise birthday parties are not my thing. Celebrating a birthday with total strangers is about as horrible an experience as I can imagine.

But thank you for remembering, just the same. I'd completely forgotten that was coming up.

You're fifteen hours or so ahead of us in 'Straya. Guess I failed to roll the date ahead when you said "today." Sorry. But then again if you were in Melbourne we'd have to start celebrating on the 17th to keep up with you.

If that mountain top connects you only to higher powers and not to us -- Happy Birthday in advance. (Surely you'll accept birthday greetings from a bunch of total strangers!)

I'm already looking forward to the next chapter. Stay well and enjoy.

Back to Phulbari, Dogster? I'd be interested in knowing about any changes or additions (hot water showers, wifi) since you were there last.

Thanks Marija: I rather suspect, if I get there, that WiFi access will err.. rather limited. And yup, birthday greetings from a bunch of not-so-total strangers is very nice indeed. Truly, I had forgotten all about it.

Craig, I've made no arrangements as yet - it'll all depend on the state of the rains and the roads. All will be revealed in a matter of hours. It's been three years since I was there - anything might have happened. Knowing Nepal, it will have.

Spending your birthday on a mountaintop in Nepal sounds pretty good. Enjoy! And do report back to us.

Coming out of cyber purdah at great risk to send Happy Birthday wishes to my favorite dog!

Please send my greetings to Michelle and Pujan.

Will be on R&R soon and hope to weigh in on everything I've been missing . . .

Happy Birthday to a fellow Leo. Maybe you should be a catster, not a dogster [ducking].

I was up in the mountains for weeks without internet and now I come back to another fantastic dogster travel tale. Great reporting! I am looking forward to the rest of the story. Happy Birthday in advance!

I just 'stumbled' upon this thread and loved the story Dogster. I hope that you do come back to finish it soon.
