For: Kris and Ben

Hi Aunt Kris and Ben, good luck on your climb and am keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. I can't wait to hear about your adventure!

For: Sue Holms

Good Luck on your life changing crazy adventure. I can't wait to read the book you will write. I'm sure with your humor it will be a great read. You know cuz, I really need to see pictures. I still can't imagine you hiking. Did they promise you wine, bubble bath and a tent as rich as the RitzCarlton. I hope you at least brought hiking boots instead of those heels you wear. I really want to know how you are entertaining the troops. I'm sure you willkeep everyone in a positive mind. Good Luc

For: Susan Homes and Everyone Else

Stuff is gonna happen, and it's gonna be bad. You just don't know when or how bad it's gonna be. But you have to put shutters on, set a goal, don't listen to the noise, and just go forward. All of that noise is a distraction, and if you let it distract you, you'll fail." Get it Susan!!!

Hello, Ghionul. I've already tried sending you a message but it hasn't appeared so far - maybe I made some kind of cyber-error so I'll have another go. Many thanks for photo from Meru - hope your yomp up Kilimanjaro will be a memorable and painless experience. Get snapping! ATB, JK
