Leisure time at the Kathmandu Airport

Since the airport was built in Lukla, every article and book that I have read talks about waiting hours and/or days for the clouds to life in Lukla so climbers, trekkers and gear can arrive safely on the mountain side. Sure enough, I am having a taste of history. The airport is packed with people who didn't get out yesterday and have now been grounded today. We spent three hours on the tarmac before we were bused back to wait inside. We should know in an hour if there is a chance of going this afternoon or if we are headed back to the hotel for another night. My guess is we will be sleeping in a bed again tonight. Hopefull we can get out early in the morning. This is all part of the package!
