Tibet - Day 1

Day 1 was a travel day from Shanghai to Lhasa by way of ChengDu.

We left the house at 6:00am.

Backpacks, daypacks, boots, hiking poles, sleeping bags, sun glasses, sun screen, and suitcases for all the "extra stuff".

Time to go!!! Hmmmmm.....I wonder if all this will fit in the elevator?
