Conquering Mount Kilimanjaro

http://rss.cnn.com/~r/rss/cnn_travel/~3/mnc82SXQeU4/index.html

Hi everyone! I read this article about a CNN journalist who really love her job and needed a break. She moved to NYC last summer. But at the same time, the wheel started to spin faster than ever. And after a particularly tough news cycle, she needed a REAL break. So she asked for two entire weeks off -- something she had never done in her 15-year career -- and decided it was time for her to stop talking about Africa and finally go to Africa. It took her turning 35 to finally realize a dream she has had ever since she was 13 when her friend was whisked away to safari in Kenya with her father. Since she had waited this long to take such a momentous trip, she couldn't just go to Africa. I'd need to climb a damn mountain -- and not just any mountain, but the tallest mountain on the continent: Mount Kilimanjaro, which stands at 19,340 feet above sea level in Tanzania.

  1. I read your article its really interesting, for this lady to take days of from work. She started some research about the mountain in Africa that she wants to climb,she got the idea of getting a friend and some batteries for a flash light to use at night when climbing the mountain .She is a strong woman , i admired her so much . Not every woman will have the strength to climb mountains, not to talk about kilimanjaro the highest mountain .
