I climbed it! I climbed it! One day, I decided to leave my job working as an employee for a company that offers the best lawn care services Birmingham, AL has to offer and head to Africa to climb the famous Mount Kilimanjaro. I could hardly believe my good fortune when my supervisor agreed to hold my job for me until I returned from my adventure. Within a two-week timeframe, I was saddled with all of my hiking and camping gear and heading up the tallest peak in Africa. I was going to have an exhilarating adventure!
I hired a guide to take my friends and me to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro. We scheduled a seven-day trip with our guide who turned out to be the funniest, most organized, and smartest guide we could have ever found. Before we arrived to meet him, he provided us with the most detailed list of everything we would need to have an unforgettable, safe ascend to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro. On the list were things such as; towels, sunscreen, toilet paper, maps, pertinent clothes, and a sleeping bag. Since we had this information, packing was simple and I had more time to spend on tidying up and taking care of things before I left my home.
