Kilimanjaro

In 2010, I and my friend Mike Beuerlein are planning a trip to summit Kilimanjaro. These are the posts pertaining to that end.

Preliminary fact-finding

Mike and I have searched the intertubes for an appropriate guide company to take us to the top of Kili. If we’re going to pay all that money to go all that way, we want to be sure we get to the top of the damned thing.

Hopefully the experience of the guide company will help us do this.

After some searching around, we’ve settled upon Ultimate Kilimanjaro. They are, after all, the ultimate. Clearly we can’t find anyone better than them. I should ask Mike to have a look around for some other superlatives, but I think ultimate is as far as they go.

Here’s what they responded to Mike’s inquiry:

Hi Michael,

To proceed, please confirm the following details:

· party size = 2
· arrival date
· departure date
· climb route/days = Lemosho 8 days
· safari option/days = 1 day safari
· additional services (pick up/drop off at airport)

After I receive these, I will send a custom booking form for your party.

Thanks,
Kevin

We’re in a holding pattern right now, waiting for me to pay my taxes and close out the year of 2009 so I can see how much money I don’t have and complain accordingly.

Getting to the top of Kili may involve some questionable practices on my part, and that’s before we even get to Africa.

    Hello and welcome, friend! My name is Jim and this is my blog, constructed entirely of dreams and opinions. My lawyer said that a disclaimer would be a good idea, but he didn't include any jokes to go with it. Damned if I can think of any either.
