Everest Base Camp Nepal Preparation + Island Peak Summit; Female Going Solo, Looking for travel companion in Mid May 2009.

It's just today that suddenly I feel like going back to Nepal to do Everest Base Camp and other side trek like Kalapathar, Chola Pass, and may be Island Peak Summit.

I only have lesser than 2 weeks preparation, and now I'm trying to schedule it for beginning May arrival in Kathmandu and start right away from Lukla.

I would be very lucky, if I can hook up with travel buddies along the way that wanna do the same trek with me because I don't really wanna go with a group. Anyway,,, if I dont get any responses on this post soon, I will still try to manage it by myself... hopefully meeting interesting people along the way.

Here is my itenerary, althought it's not yet final since I haven't included Island Peak Summit because I'm not so sure about it yet;
