Good luck Jill. This is Christian
Wait, wait, wait a minute! You were dead serious about hiking Mt. Kilimanjaro weren't you? Ha ha ha ha! I totally thought you were just saying that. You failed to mention which trail you'll be taking up. Well then... I wish you the best of luck. Watch out for poisonous snakes. And take lots of pictures for us all.
I can't believe how cool you are...good luck, I know you will own that mountain
Wow!
V. here.. Thinking of you. What an undertaking to the top of AFRICA? I barely even know how to spell Africa. It looks like 6-5 days of climbing?? Things are looking better from my top of the mesa. I really don't know where you and your brothers and sisters got there genes..certainly you did not get home body genes. We're thinking of you and your group. love, v
my favorite is christian's comment. ha!
so according to my calculations - you should be waking soon (or maybe sleeping so fitfully that you're practically awake) and heading out today. i am so excited for you and i truly, truly, truly hope that your luggage got there in time. good luck!!! crossing KILI off the list!
i think it should be happening right.about.now.
i'm thinking about you guys and i have my fingers crossed!!!
