It’s funny how quickly memories can fade…but every once in a while you have an epiphany…something that brings back a memory loud and clear…possibly a PHOTO!?…and thankfully more often than not they make you SMILE! 

SMILE is what I do when I think back exactly a year ago.  We took a trip to Africa…a trip to climb Mount Kilimanjaro.  They call it a “ONCE in a lifetime experience” so when asked if I would go again of course my answer was “NO”.  It’s called a “once in a lifetime experience” to do just that…be “ONCE” in a lifetime.

I loved Africa…the people, the mountain, the tenting,  the safari, the food, the culture, the market, the monkeys outside our hut!!  BUT…I love home and I will hold the memories close BUT moving on is good and so is making NEW memories! Here’s to traveling new places…next stop Italy & Croatia!

Dedicated to our team...so glad we made this trek together...
