For the past few days I've organizing my trip to Africa.
Kenya and Tanzania.
For the Kilimanjaro Initiative.
I shall be escorting three young adults from Brooklyn to Nairobi and then accompanying this trio and five Kenyans to the Masai tribelands in Tanzania before attempting to climb Africa's highest mountain.
Kilimanjaro is over 19,000 feet tall.
My friends have given even odds of reaching the dormant volcano's rim.
My sister have less faith in me.
I think I will make it.
I want to reach the summit, but I've never been higher than 16,000 feet on the southern road out of Tibet
At noon my young charges and I shall board a Kenyan Airline flight to Nairobi.
Fifteen hours we will land in the largest city in East Africa.
Africa.
So very far away, but tomorrow my feet shall stand on the Mother Continent.
Asante Life.
