Profile
I like to workout and take walks. When I think of going on a trip, I like to have a purpose or goal for the trip. Then other spontaneous side trips and experiences usually come out of it. For example, visit East Africa with the goal of climbing Kilimanjaro. Side trips might include a safari, train trip to Mombasa and fishing expedition off the coast of Kenya.

Leaving El Alto airport, we were loaded with 5 adults + baggage and the stall buzzer was going off the whole way up to 17, 500 feet (no oxygen for either pilot or passengers.
