Hello again to all of our friends and family both near and far. Many of our past travels have been based on the criteria that there are some places in this world that will look much different now than what we would see in 10-25 years. One could make that argument for most locations but we’ve tried to identify the most drastic of scenarios. A past discussion on Tanzania’s Mt Kilimanjaro brought... Read Full Entry

You Guys at it AGAIN??
Wow, immediately when I got your email, I said to myself," What? They are at it again??" You guys are awesome!! I thoroughly enjoyed reading every bit about your journey; smiling the entire time as if I was taking the trip with you. (smile) Shane, I like the beard. :) Did you say, "Days without showering?" Yeah, not a trip that the "Deeds" would be taking. LOL Love you both and come home in one piece. Keep sending the pictures and blogs of your adventure. They are greatly anticipated ans well as appreciated!!

LOVE the blog and you 2!
Leave it to you two to come up with an outrageously unique way to spend Valentine's Day! Thanks for all the efforts in posting this blog. It's great to be able to see your pictures and read your story without having to do the work of actually climbing the mountain! I will be smiling whenever I think of flashlights in a tent with a full bladder! Hugs, mom

Sis & Shane, you guys once again have made an amazing journey for which I can live vicariously thru you. One of these days I will be as cool and adventurous as you. Maybe I can be your porter on your next trip? Love you! M&Z can't wait for the safari post!

PS: Zakara was laughing about peeing in a ziplock bag. Hope you had the double ziplock secure freezer proof variety, the others are a little "leakier" :)

Ya did it again!
Kili today--Mars tomorrow, right? (after the safari!)--can't wait for the pictures. Truly enjoyed the well-written prose of your blog--can't help it, but the English teacher in me notes that every comma was in the right spot :-) Dawn and I fully plan to meet up again with you some day. Please keep us posted on your travels. The nice thing about being a prof. is having these nice, long cushy breaks to travel. Am getting close to finishing my dissertation and then off to a new continent. Much love to you both, and it's great to see you looking to happy and healthy! xo Shannon
