Aaron, Katie, and I are making an attempt on Everest base camp tomorrow, flying out of Kathmandu to a tiny little airport in Lukla and then hiking for about a week to get to the base camp. The weather is supposed to be great, and we are currently planning on doing an extra pass/glacier/2 days on a high-altitude lake. Should take a little over 2 weeks, and internet may be hard to come by.
I'll have my GPS and I'll be sure to upload the tracks so you can see where we go.
Kathmandu is wonderful; clean, great food, incredible architecture at Durbar square, and plenty of infrastructure to cater to trekking/rafting/mountain biking(!). There are so many tiny trekking gear stores around us that it's like living in a spread-out version of REI, except everything is fake North Face, Columbia, and Mammut.
