"A goal is a private deal you make with yourself. You make a promise, take a vow, or make a pact with someone else. But a goal you actually plan to achieve is something entirely different. It begins with desire, is secured by commitment, and is achieved by action."
At Thanksgiving in November 2006 (after a bit too much wine), my brother Scott, his wife Jackie, and I decided on a trek to Mount Kilimanjaro. This website attempts to chronicle our trip and also provide information that is useful to others planning a journey to Tanzania.
Here we are on Humphrey's Peak, AZ (Aug. 11, 2007)
