Today's the Day!!!

This is it! The moment you have finally been waiting for, Africa here we come!!!! WOOO!!! Despite minor last minute stresses I am excited to say that we are ready. Moments ago Casey left from New York where he spent the past few days visiting his friend Jamie. He is scheduled to arrive in Dar es Salam Saturday evening and will meet me at the airport when I arrive at 5:15 AM on Sunday morning. What a good brother! From there we have a quick 10 hour bus ride to Arusha followed by a day of rest and then we begin the hike. I am sure that the next time I update this thing I will have plenty to say that is far more exciting than basic travel details. Until then, goodbye and keep in touch!
