Viewing Post for: Kilimanjaro Climb 2014
Date: January 20, 2014 3:00 PM
Location: Yusuf's house. Moshi, Tz.
We all safe in Tanzania. Lots of experiences already. Got thrown out of meat market for taking a picture. Learned the various meanings of chia. How to shake hands when yours are dirty. Highlight of course was lunch with Yusuf and his family. Lots of African food. For those who got up on time, first glimpse of Kili. Some now want to go home. It looks big. Ricks bag not here yet. He is going to need to wear everyone else clothing. Maggie kindly offered hers.
Wow, repeat wow. We are here
We start our climb tomorrow. Be sure to blog us. We will get the posts on the mt.

Good luck to you all as you start your great journey up Kili. Warmest regards to Yusuf and all the staff. Is Ahmed with you or is he studying? Rick, it should not be too much of a problem to be without your clothes; did you not just use one pair of underwear up Kili last year? Be safe and relish, Paul

You are WHERE? Doing WHAT? I never did know what to expect from you two. I don't have to tell you to enjoy, because that goes without saying. Savor every moment.

We're BOTH so glad you made it...you both look SO happy! Can't wait for the climb to begin and can't wait to hear about the food. Did you bring your own wine? What's the corkage fee on the mountain? Steve

Glad you made it there safely. It's cold and snowy back home. Did you bring your clubs? I'll bet the ball goes REALLY far up at the summit. Especially a Top Flite. Enjoy and take care.

Jambo, Jambo! Wishing you all safe passage up (and down!) the great Kilimanjaro. Seeing sunrise from the top of a continent is something you can never forget!

Jambo Harry! Habari za leo? Cold and snowy here...Daniel and your driveway spent some time together this morning. Don't get too comfy in just your t-shirt! Sleep well while you can, enjoy every minute, and remember, pole pole will get you to the top.

Hi Rick and All the 2014 climbers. Rest assure climbers you are in the absolute best care and you will all make it to the top as a result of the incredible people you are with. You are in for a most spectacular journey. Tell Mohammed I said Hi and I will forever remember our extra day together on the town. I wish I could have seen the look on his wife's face when he got home that day. I hope she liked the pattern of cloth we got her to make a dress.Mohammed will lead u there pole pole.

Wishing you all a safe and wonderful journey. I sure do wish I was there with you. Rick: I met with Kristine yesterday about her Kili 2015 aspirations. Great & ironic to share pics and stories knowing you were arriving there about the same time. PLEASE say hello to Yusuf, Mohammed, Mohammed, Mohammed, Himed, Adam, Habiboo, Ernest, Yahiya, Raziki, and the many other wonderful people we met in 2013. Tell Yusuf I am still waiting for the Swahili translations. ALL: ENJOY YOUR DAY!

Great pic! Glad to hear travel went (mostly) smoothly. Weekend update: Syracuse over Pitt 59-54 in front of 30,046, with big plays by Ennis that let SU take and keep the lead with under 2 min left, despite poor rebounding. Denver stymied the Patriots 26-16 leading throughout. Seahawks rally to beat 49ers 23-17 forcing three fourth quarter turnovers. Snow and dropping temps here. Enjoy the warm (hot) weather before you head out!
