          good job carole! i think you are really addicted to this challenge? have you noticed you tush getting firmer?

          i made it to base camp, 350 feet [flights]. after getting a hot meal and making sure ya'll had something tasty to eat when you arrived, i buzzed over to petronas twin towers and got in some fights there. let me know when you get to base camp!

                  carole, you're doing great!

                  the food is still nice and warm at base camp and i've finished off 87 flights on Petronas Twin Towers. climbing this again brings back memories of the first time. that was when i saw the show by National Geographic about the building of the twin towers. that was amazing! and so cool that i saw it while i was climbing it.

                      Great climbing Carole!

                      Jimmie! Congrats on Petronas for the second time around!
                      Have to say, I enjoyed the nice warm meal at Base Camp 2! But had to rush it to catch the 'copter to Seattle... for a quickie climb (see siggy) until Susan joins us.

                          Yikes! Done trekked right on past base camp today - no one was there waiting, so hopped on over via Google Earth flight tour passing overhead and stopped off at Canary Wharf... Should be a nice reprieve from the cold, (& TOM, too, finally). Got some blood flowing back to life...

                          I need to make better time to camp 3 Jimmie48, so keep an eye open for me in the back of your head! (Nice climbing, BTW)...



                          Wait - I thought I just heard someone behind me? Sally - where are you?

                              Have a nice weekend Carole!

                              Susan... well done for getting past base camp 2... missed ya when you whizzed by!

                              Jimmie... I'll finish up my climb in a flash and move on to base camp 3. You're right! We're much speedier this time around... and I've even put an extra notch in my aerobic step, to make it higher!!! I try to get at least thirty flights in a day. Bit of a struggle, but très healthy!
