Tanzania Bound

Ari and I have been battling some overactive sinuses and made the wise decision to not go out to the club last night. Neither of us is sick (at least it's not affecting us), but Ari has had a persistent (read.... annoying! :) ) cough.

Today we hung around the house knowing that the next couple of weeks we will not have the luxury of a home base! We (Ari) did some laundry by hand behind the house. This evening we Moto'ed up the road to the Space Joint for some goat brochette (goat kabobs) and chips (real french fries!). It was delicious and met our need for some protein after lots of vegetarian meals in a row. There is a great little group of expat's at this house and just around the corner and it is fun to hear everyones adventures each day. Tonight we have been busy packing, charging (ourselves and our cameras), cleaning up, and planning the next leg of our journey.

We fly to the Kiliminjaro Airport at 7:00 am tomorrow and our 4 day safari will start the next day. We are excited to be headed into the unknown and get a stamp on our passport that says Tanzania!

ahhhh, i love reading about your adventures, it reminds me of traveling in South America with the two of you. Good Times!
Have a safe trip to Tanzania and take care of each other :) I will be looking forward to reading more...
West Asheville misses you both! Mark I will be thinking of you when I watch the Super Bowl tonight.

Mark - The photos are really great - so fun to get to follow this adventure! Hope the safari is great too! The TV joke had me going for a minute. I was thinking "I can't believe Ari was ok with watching TV"
and my second thought was "that crappy Bachelor show was their only choice?"
It is very quiet here with both of you and Caitlin gone.
The super bowl was kind of boring the first half but it is getting better now. You have a much better way to spend the evening however!

Wow. It seems technology always fails us when we're totally dependent on it for something.
