The Zanzibar Weekend: Saturday, Nov. 10
http://richsfamilyznz.blogspot.com/2006/11/saturday-nov-10.html
This is the account of my family's visit to Zanzibar. Events are listed in chronological order. Thursday, 23 November 2006. Saturday, Nov. 10. The next morning we were off to Prison Island. I’d been there a year and a half ago and I thought renting a boat, snorkeling, seeing the tortoises, etc. might be a fun excursion. Though the weather was a bit sketchy during the day, we ended up having a fun outing. The island had changed considerably since I’d been there with the development of a hotel. We complied...

Rich's Kili Blog: Mt. Kilimanjaro, Tanzania
http://thekiliblog.blogspot.com/2006/11/mt-kilimanjaro-tanzania.html
This is the account of our 5-day trek to the highest point in Africa - Mt. Kilimanjaro, Tanzania. 2006 Family in Zanzibar. Friday, 17 November 2006. Mt Kilimanjaro, Tanzania. October 30 - November 3, 2006. For many years I’ve thought about climbing. The name sort of conjures up exotic images – some blend of high altitude mountaineering and the African bush.

When I was trying to figure out how my family should spend their time in Tanzania, I initially thought of a Kilimanjaro climb and a safari in the Northern Circuit. Those were a no-brainer. The question that came to mind was whether or not to tack on something else, fearing that it may be too much. Freshly showered and rested, we had breakfast and heade...

The Zanzibar Weekend: Sunday, Nov. 11
http://richsfamilyznz.blogspot.com/2006/11/sunday-nov-11.html
This is the account of my family's visit to Zanzibar. Events are listed in chronological order. Thursday, 23 November 2006. Sunday, Nov. 11. The next morning we took off on our spice tour. This I’d never done before though Priya had. A van picked us up from the hotel and we drove about 15 minutes just outside town where our tour began. I will refrain from going into details about the tour but it turned out to be really fascinating. For some reason it doesn’t sound as interesting as it was. However, the b...
