My friend and traveling partner left for Tanzania this morning! We had a chance to see each other yesterday, which made all of this feel very REAL. Her route allows an overnight in London this evening for a quick visit with her daughter, but we meet on Saturday in Amsterdam for the final flight into Kilimanjaro. I leave tomorrow morning (Austin -> Houston -> Amsterdam -> Kilimanjaro) for 19 hours of flight time and 9,447 miles of travel. I believe we will both be exhausted by the time we reach Tanzania, but I'm happy that we arrive together.
Today consists of running last minute errands and packing up my suitcase. I did manage to schedule a massage for this afternoon, so at least I'll be nice and relaxed for my grueling days of travel. :)
This is really happening! I almost can't believe it!
Oh, I heard back from Mama Charlotte at UAACC. She said we are welcome to visit them in Arusha - we really hope to be able to do so. Here is a video about their most recent project, a children's home:

Austin will be a lesser place while you're gone, but the world will shine brighter for your efforts. Do great work, and come home safe. Mahalo.
