Our Itinerary

We have said a lot of farewells this weekend, and I really appreciate all the good thoughts that you all are sending our way.

We'll be counting on your good thoughts and wishes as we trudge up Kilimanjaro (and down again...). In fact, we could use all the positive energy we can get during our push to the summit. If you get a chance, please send a good thought or two out, particularly on February 16 and 17- those will be our toughest days.

  1. I'll be sitting on my butt in my parents' car on the way to Truckee on the 16th - so I'll have LOTS of time to send you Good Vibes! (And so I shall!)
