Climb For A Cause

We know drama! (Anoo)

It seemed like going to Africa and trying to climb a 19,000 ft mountain wasnt enough drama. On the morning of our departure, pernille still hadnt received her passport from the Tanzanian embassy! She couldnt make the flight from NYC to Nairobi! 6 long faces boarded American Airlines with fingers and hearts crossed that some miracle would happen. pernille was desparately trying to get herself to be booked on a flight the next day in the hope the the US postal service would do its thing and the passport would arrive the next day. 1 am on dec 22nd, i called her from our nairobi hotel room -- i got voice mail and left a message. it was the one message i didnt want to get a response to - if she didnt respond, she was on a flight! i dreamt of her sending me messages of her arrival and when i awoke the next morning, i just wanted to know that there wasnt a message on my cell phone. my prayers were answered - there was no message. when we reached arusha last evening, we learnt that pernille would be joining us at Ngorongoro crater today! yoo hoo!
