Plans

 I let myself sleep in  a bit later this morning and only did my yoga workout and skipped the Wim Hoff and stair stepper. I will admit it was nice to take a break from the entire routine. I really enjoy starting my day doing yoga as it awakens the body and the mind. I am still doing the same CristaYoga routine as I haven't found another I enjoy as much as this one. I guess as long as I enjoy this why change, well I might benefit from some different poses, but I'll master these first. 

So another week and weekend of 104f+ temperatures forecast. We are now under stage 2 water restrictions with limited days and hours to water outside. Car washes are restricted too. I've never seen the lakes as low as they currently are. It will take several rainy years for them to recover. But anyway it will be another weekend hibernating in the house. I am really looking forward to going to Alaska. It was 48f there yesterday morning in Denali. I can't wait!

I tend to plan way in advance for trips. I research online for months leaving no stone unturned. I like to be 100% sure of something before I commit. I may be three years away from traveling to Nepal, but by the time I go I will be completely prepared and educated about the location, the people, the culture and what I want to see and do. If you've read my other posts this week you know I am hitting a few dead ends on the areas I would like to volunteer. I am trying to expand my options, but will continue to look at the Everest region. I also had originally considered using a Trekking company with an organized trip to EBC. The prices are very good and everything would be organized from start to finish. The only problem with them is it is a set route and schedule. I worry that I may want to go a bit slower than the group or if I am feeling ambitious I might ant to add on Goyko Ri. If I choose to go this route I will hire an independent guide and porter for the trek. I will most likely do this if I am volunteering in the region. I wouldn't save much in cost doing this as I would be paying the total cost of guide and porter instead of splitting it with a group. Just one more thing to think about. 

Well the weekend is nearly here. I wonder what plans I should make?
