Hey friends and family!  Thanks for taking the time and following me on my new blog for Africa!  It will be a great way for you to keep track of me on this journey.  Just click on the red “follow me click here”  button to the right or just check in time to time for new updates.

Well 7 days to go until take off.  I’ve spent the last week downloading all the wonderful songs for my playlist that all of my “facebookies” posted to my wall.  I have about 27 hours of music loaded onto 3 devices, because I realized I won’t have access to power after they die.  I should be trucking up that mountain, with a few laughs on the way with some of these song recommendations.  Planning to do my last gear check and pack up tonight… but fist I am at Joseph Anthony’s retreat spa and salon getting a wax and a solo hair treatment (anti-frizz).  If I am ever going to need anti-frizz nows the time, and forget about being able to shower let alone shave…i am realizing now that I am typing this maybe i am getting to glam for this mountain.
