Day -5: Getting REALLY excited now...

The atmosphere amoungst the "travellers" is really hyping up now....walking around the offices and speaking to the rest of the team there is real mix of excited people - humming, looking at pictures of the web cam, talking about the trip and postman delivering the last minute bits and bobs....Yesterday for example I received a "shipment" of sleeping mats which I ordered for Harry, Katie and myself - they are really cool little camping beds which are semi-inflatable so hopefully that will be money well spent and we'll get some good nights sleep!!! Today I have some spare bits for my camera arriving including an extra battery....oh..there will be LOTS of photos I think!!

Most of our conversations now start with ...."This Time Next Week We Will Be....." so to continue the tradition...This time next week we will be starting our work at the school after hopefully having enjoyed our first night in the tents at camp and (if I know most of the group) having enjoyed some local beer and sung some campfire songs...something I WILL be encouraging!!



Campfire (the previous group...we'll be singing of course)
 Also today we have received our electronic tickets for the flight next Tuesday and Jan is checking us in so we can all hopefully sit together....for those interested...and those that find airplanes slightly interesting...we are on:-
  • Flight KQ101 from Heathrow to Nairobi on Tuesday 2nd Nov 2010 @19:00
  • Flight KQ6722 from Nairobi to Tanzania (Kilimajaro Airport) on 3rd Nov 2010 @ 10:35
And.....this is what our plane will look like!!!
Airplanes are cool.....
