First Flight

5 September, 2011 Nothing like traveling the globe and today is the day to do it! Our first flight took us from Seattle to Chicago, easy-schmeezey as flights go. Beautiful scenery all the way across, especially over the Cascade Mountain Range in our own Washington State. We are currently relaxing in Turkish Airlines' comfortable VIP Lounge at ORD. Thank goodness for first-class frequent flyer tickets :)  Next flight is 10+ hours to Istanbul, Turkey and then on to Nairobi, Kenya and finally across the Kenya/Tanzania border to Kilimanjaro Airport. It's important to be mentally prepared for a journey of this sort. All in all we'll cross 10 time zones! Only 8 more time zones and 50 degrees of latitude to go! I hope to blog our entire travel experience. Stay tuned!
