Traveling to Kilimanjaro

I found my way to the Seattle airport and boarded my flight to Amsterdam. The 10 hour journey gave me a great opportunity to catch up on my movie watching and Northwest provided a nice library of flicks.

I met Ben in Amsterdam and we did what we do best, grabbed a drink at the pub.


We caught up a bit, discovered that Ben’s iPhone only works in the states, drank a Heineken, and then I got my first panic call from a client. It was getting close to boarding time so we inquired with bartender to see if we could get one more in a “to-go” cup. He smiled and filled up two coke-a-cola cups and then we headed to the gate. Turns out they boarded early so we slammed our “Cokes”, made sure we both could pronounce our names, and went through security. They had one of those cool full body scanners, so I took a picture of it, then a nice security official came along and made me delete it from my camera. Only another 10 hours to Kilimanjaro airport, I napped for 9 of those hours.
