Five days and counting

Our office has become a staging area... we've got our backpacks out and all of our needs for six weeks are piled on top! We are trying to pack light and still be prepared for a possible Kili summit at below freezing and 100 degree weather in the Gombe. Although our trip still seems very surreal, it is becoming increasingly tangible and very exciting. We are both working full weeks, as I am trying to close things with some clients and make sure others have access to resources while I am away and Mike is in Sacramento doing a training. But, we have all of our vaccines, some plans, and lots of room for adventure. We calculated 24 hours of flight time (fun!- heavy sarcasm), though it will take us two days to get there. Stay tuned!
