Ever since I was a kid, I fantasized about going to Mount Everest. Fantasies are fun and can be enjoyed in the safety, comfort and warmth of one's home. But to turn this crazy idea into reality? Could I really make this happen? This book is about making the decision to take a two-week break from my comfortable, paper-pushing existence and journeying to Everest Base Camp. This book is about wanting to peer over the edge of the earth and seeing what's there. This book is about making my personal dreams come true.
