First post

Its a good idea (I think) to start off the blog by explaining what its about. This particular blog is primarily intended to document my experiences leading up to - and through - my three-week trip to Tanzania coming up in January of 2010. I intend to use this blog as a means of documenting my trip as well as providing information and updates to my peeps back home at Susquehanna University and in Selinsgrove, PA. Several specific issues & topics to be addressed via this blog:

• Why am I going to Tanzania (Kilimanjaro, to be more specific)?
• Where is Tanzania?
• What is it like in Tanzania?
• What is it like traveling to Tanzania?
• Does is snow in Tanzania?

There will be other topics and questions addressed as I go along, I'm sure. I just thought this might be a good place to start.

Anyway, I'll do my best to update the blog as I go along. Stick around - "and if you're not careful, you may learn something before its done!"
