Mira & Shawn here. 4 flights, 5 airports, 44 hours later..we're finally in Moshi. It's been a long 2 days.

Key events:
- Our luggage is here
- We found Tibi in Dar es Salaam..apparently he was stuck in Nariobi for the night because the flight he was supposed to be on for Dar "didn't exist"..so they told him..HAHA!
- The mountain is huge.. as shawn puts it "Oh SHIT, that's a big mountain". The peak is obscurred by clouds so we haven't fully grasped what we'll be attempting in a few days.

Upcoming events:
- We have a 2-day safari starting tomorrow and we start our climb on Wednesday.
- Zanzibar on the 14th...accommodations to be determined

Stuff:
- Our driver to the hotel has a sister in Toronto..small world indeed! he was talking to her on a cell phone as we were weaving down the road. He's more high tech than Shawn! If this isn't public knowlege yet..well now it is..Shawn doesn't have a cell phone...how does he survive?
- Shawn's been doing his voice recordings..slightly bizzare but could be useful :P

We have roles:
- Shawn.. the vault.. but considered expendible once we have our remaining tickets
- Tibi.. highly opinionated entertainer and lady charmer
- Mira.. photo gurl.. social coordinator (recently nominated).. and keeps the boys in check

I cant wait to hear shawns voice recordings...you must publish a 'best of' mp3 for us to listen to. Maybe put some african music in the background.

May I suggest staying at Kendwa Rocks on Zanzibar. You have to take a bus there from Stone Town so it's a secluded and beautiful beach and you stay in little banda huts.

I concur with Bart and Sarah. Can't wait for the greatest hits. Perhaps a video with Shawn's recordings as commentary.
