We traveled to Tanzania in September 2011 to climb Kilimanjaro (19,340'). This blog tracks the planning and training process for the trek and shares some thoughts on the adventure. It is a definite bucket list adventure. If you have ever dreamed of climing Kilimanjaro, strap on your pack and get planning. You won't regret it.

We Leave Tomorrow!
This is my last posting before the great adventure. We leave for Kilimanjaro tomorrow morning. I am so excited. I am also a bit nervous, but hope that the entire adventure goes well. I was doing some last minute shopping at the Patagonia store, and my friend Paul said to remember the quote: "If something doesn't go wrong, it is not an adventure." I guess that is a pretty good way to look at it. Things never really go exactly as planned. Mary mentioned a similar quote she heard this week: "There is the trip you plan, and then there is the trip you take." I have planned. I have trained. I have worried. I am ready for whatever the trip brings.
