Welcome to Nepal!!

It all started with two friends looking for a girls' trip destination that was off the beaten path. I know, you are all thinking, "Nepal is a little more than off the beaten path." So maybe I should rewind a little....we are a group of expat wives, trailing spouses, supporting team or whatever term you choose....living in India. Thus, the idea of Nepal wasn't that far fetched. Back to the story. Two of us who I will call Sarcastic Swede and Crazy American decided that a trip to Nepal was on the must-do list. You can probably figure out how two quickly turned to eight when she told a friend, who told a friend, and so on. This group included,
Sarcastic Swede
Crazy American
Posing Princess
Danish Bacon
Morte5
Flower Power
Organized Aussie
Jersey Girl
(Look at the list and tell me who these three are?)

We represent seven countries. Between us, we have lived in too many countries to count and visited even more than that. 

When we took off for Nepal two were close friends, and two others were close friends, and we had met so-and-so once or twice. By the time we returned to India, it was done. The laughter, shopping, hiking, sweating, eating, and did I say laughing, had turned this group of diverse women into life long friends. There was no turning back.

Now we are spread out over five countries but as close as ever. We have a goal of getting together once a year at least to catch up, laugh, eat, and laugh some more. The laughter and joy we get from each other is priceless.
