Britten and Chris return from the mountain
Jonathan and Carrie,
We are home safe and sound (even with all the London Terror that held us up). Thanks for your info on the hiking poles. We found some that we rented and were very thankful for them (especially on the way down, my knees were killing me and we were sliding everywhere in the mud in the rainforest). We were sooo sore for a few days afterwards too! We did make it to the summit just at sunrise and it was absolutely breathtaking. We took about 600 photos and video too. Actually we took more photos but somehow managed to lose one of our digital cameras on the mountain 
We had pretty good weather although we did see rain, snow and hail. We both loved to see the clouds roll into camp! It all just seemed like a whole different world (besides the coca cola that was everywhere!) We took the Rongai route (known as the Coca Cola route) up and came down the Marangu route. Thanks again for all your help! We were very prepared and thankful for your packing tips!
Britten and Chris =)

Kilimanjaro Climb Questions
Jonathan and Carrie – we leave in 3 weeks for Kilimanjaro! We are overwhelmed, and my crew has a few questions we’d like to ask of the experts from Colorado:
1) at night, in the tents, how cold did it get for you and Carrie? We’re going a month or two after you did, so it may be warmer, but ‘just how cold was it’? We have great sleeping bags for the cold, and plan to rent the mats when we get there.
2) I’m carrying water bottles, but my wife is taking a ‘camelback’ to sip the water from. Which would you recommend for the others?
3) Is it better to take big duffle bags for the porters to carry your stuff in, or use the ones they have there? Same for walking poles ……. ?
4) Was tipping your guides and porters an issue? I mean, did you just hand over cash to the guides at the end to distribute, or did you separate it out for them?
5) Do they have open fires at the campsites at night??
6) Of course we all plan to summit Uhuru peak – nothing less. You two made it. Any advice on that? (open ended question ….!)
7) What do you wish you had done differently (or not done) – in retrospect?

Adventures in Colorado Springs
Today we went to Colorado Springs. I had seen pictures online of a church there that looked beautiful. So, today we went to scope it out. We also decided that as long as we were in the Springs, we might as well check out prospective reception sites as well. Here’s a TIP: when looking to book wedding and reception sites, call the local visitor’s bureau for information. Kem hooked us up with all kinds of venues we would not have found by ourselves. Thanks Kem!
