Kissing Kibo

<p>As a single female African American over-forty divorcee the author had an epiphany: She had better start living her life. Having lost both parents early in life she reasoned that she had many more years behind her than left in front of her. That meant that she would embark on doing all of the things she'd ever dreamt of doing. Having never so much as camped out for longer than a day she decided to take a trip far from the concrete confines of her urban life and embark on a solo sojourn with Mother Nature to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania East Africa. She had no earthly idea what to expect; not even a clue of whether she could survive at an altitude of 9000 feet much less the height of Mount Kilimanjaro at 19340 feet. Even so she made the journey across the Atlantic to the top of the highest free-standing mountain in the world. Join the author on this journey as you read her first-person account and her insight into how you too can make a successful trek to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro.</p>
