Finally...the trip begins (almost)

After four intense years of planning, our Tanzania 2010 journey ends with the beginning of another journey - the actual trip to Karatu, Tanzania! The fundraising is done, the decisions, planning, and preparations all complete. We've accomplished our goal of helping two schools build rainwater harvesting tanks and now on to the next phase - visit the schools and witness firsthand the results of our efforts.

We've all got our passports, our shots (yes, my arm did hurt for a week), and our visas. Excitement is running high as the 18 students, 4 teachers, and 7 family members in our group spend this long weekend packing and running last minute errands before we depart for Karatu via Toronto, London, Nairobi, and Kilimanjaro.

Only 3 more sleeps (I'm sure the students could tell me the exact number of hours...)
