We’re declaring victory right at the start of this Kilimanjaro expedition.  Each climber made each flight with each and every bag.  The gang assembled this evening at the Rivertrees Inn at Usa River, Tanzania.  Eight climbers and one climbing guide.  We introduced ourselves and explained how we’d each come to be on this quest.  For some it was years in the making, pushed back by the pandemic, for others the path to the mountain formed up spontaneously in the preceding months.  But we are all here now and ready to go… with a little inevitable jet lag.  We dined outside under the big trees, and without any interruptions from the monkeys in the neighborhood.  Tomorrow morning, we’ll meet and get down to the actual business of preparing for a Kilimanjaro climb. 

Best Regards
