It is official, we are heading to East Africa, Tanzania to be exact. The tickets were purchased Wednesday and we receive them Friday. We have the entire trip set up and the tour company in Tanzania is getting the final details set. Jennifer and I will start the fun part next month. We have a series of shots to get for Hepatitis A/B, Yellow Fever, Malaria, Meningittis, Typhoid, Rabies, Tentanus, and Measles. They say it is about a 6 month ordeal for shots and visas.

We leave December 14th and fly to New York. From there we go to Amsterdam, have a 10 hour lay over where we will take a quick tour of the town. We then leave for Kilimanjaro International Airport located in the town of Arusha. We arrive Monday, December 17th at 9am. We will then start our 9 day trip to the top of Kilimanjaro (19,341 ft).The photo below shows the route we will be taking up the mountain.

We then come down and take a 5 day Safari through the Serengeti. We will be back home on January 2, 2008.

We have been looking forward to this trip for 2 years, and finally, we are moving forward with the plans.

Besides this exciting news, not much has been happening. We have all been busy with work. Quentin starts soccer Saturday with his first game. We will post pictures as we get them.

We hope to hear from everyone soon. Have a good month.
