After two long flights through Amsterdam we arrived in Kilamanjaro at 7:30pm, Sat  Aug. 22. We rendezvoused with two more of our team mates, Kristen and Gita in Amsterdam and all arrived through Tanzania customs together. Our plane was full of climbers for Kilamanjaro and humanitarian workers (Red Cross, Center of Disease Control, entrepreneur trainers for indigenous people, and so many more!!). It definitely felt like a plane with a very positive vibe of "do-holders"  and adventurers :).

Since it was dark we missed seeing the countryside on our hour journey into Arusha where we will stay the night before traveling to Singida in the morning.  Our World Vision hosts met us and did an  impressive job navigating the highway where along the way we could see some of  the lively activity of the Arusha bar scene. It is a happen'in Sat night!

Our rooms are bright and comfortable and we are going to be sleeping under the fancy mosquito nets! Theresa Wright, my good friend from Cisco has joined me on this journey and we are roommates for the next two weeks!

Time for bed now. Will figure out how to ad pics to blog via mobile tomorrow too!
