Tanzania (2015)
Tanzania is the twenty-eighth country I visited. This trip was my second all-guys trip to celebrate our 40th birthdays (first one was to Dominican Republic), but this one was a lot more adventurous, daring, thrilling and thoroughly exhausting. Yes, this was a Mount Kilimanjaro climbing expedition—strictly a fly-in, climb-up, climb-down and fly-out kind of a trip! Enjoy our memories and moments as you visit the individual cities below.
