And so, they’re off!

Our group is officially heading to Africa. Our local “porter” Keith is picking up each one of the Rye crew over the next 30 minutes and delivery us to JFK. There will connect with John, Andy and Bubba. After that just a hop skip and a jump to Kili. Actually, 22+ hours through Doha but who’s counting!

Great send off last night. Patty surprised the team with awesome Climb With Grace gear (knit hat, baseball hat, pullover, rain hoodie). We will be the best dressed team on the hill! Had a wonderful dinner and lots of friends dropped by to wish us well. A few speeches and even some group singing. Very nice.

Will try to get one more group shot from the airport and then we’ll see you in Africa!
