Sebulan yang lalu, gue rencananya mau cuti, trekking ke Himalaya (
Gue udah buking travel di Nepal, akomodasi, guide, hostel sampai pesawat yg bakal nganter ke basecamp Everest. I booked Yeti Air, pesawat kecil yang bisa sampe ke pegunungan tinggi dan mendarat di landing strip pendek, semacam bandara-bandara kecil di pedalaman Papua.
Scheduled to depart 8 Oct 2008. 09:00AM-10:00AM
Seneng banget deh, udah cerita-cerita ke temen-temen…especially Jomima, my travel buddy.
Yang belum OK tinggal pesawat dari Singapura –
Somehow, pas booking online, internet gue putus. Dan pas gue re-book seat nya udah ngga ada. Jadi terpaksa gue cancel deh semua itinerary di Nepal.
Baru dapat trekking visa lagi tahun depan. Padahal udah bayar US$700 cuman buat permit nya doang.
Pagi ini, 9 Oct, gue dapat e-mail dari agent gue di
“Sir, the flight you have previously scheduled to board, Twin Otter Yeti Air has crashed in Lukla.The plane was caught in fire while trying to land amidst poor visibility due to fog and iffy weather. All 18 passengers and crew reported dead, including Evan, your team member along with 2 other Australian trekkers.”
I WAS regretting my 8-million-gone-money. Complaining to God why all this stupid things happened and why me. Now I THANK that my life was rescued by invisible scenario, which I had not known, until it happened, now.
