Day by Day Itinerary

I tried to figure out assuming travel is on time and there are no rain delays, no snow delays, no illness (I can wish can't I) or anything else, where we will be each day. Not that these villages are on anyones most visited list (oh, you just have to have the rice and beans in Dingboche, its to die for!), but in case you want to see when the group should be on a given day and the trail and where it goes, this is close to what is expected. The only locked in times are flights out and back...from there it is how the group is doing and how much high altitude illness and stomach sickness abounds. Unfortunately, in this decidedly developing part of the world, the santitation (lack thereof) is such that many trekkers succumb to debilitating gastric distress at some point in their travels. There is debate amongst experts if it is the combination of altitude and stomach illness that causes it to be so severe or just a lack of exposure to these bugs outside of the region, but it really doesn't matter, if the altitude doesn't get you then you still have to be careful of the cooties.
