Tomorrow we get picked up and head out after breakfast at 8:30a. It takes 2-3 hour drive to get to the Machame Gate. There we check in, sign are permits and start our trek thru the rainforest. It will start out wet, we reach the summit on Thursday night which is 19,340 feet of the largest free standing mountain in the world with temperatures hitting about -20 and a slight wind of 5-10 mph. It should be ok but very cold. Our guide (picture) who's name is Goodlack says we take it polli polli which means slow in Swahili and all will be ok. After that were back on the ground early Saturday.
The journey has definitely begun. Btw, this could be the last entry for a while. I was told that technology will be for texting and not data transfer. I'll try one last update tomorrow before we get to far in the rainforest.
