Off we go: Africa part 1.

So... the pseudo-honeymoon begins today. The adventure begins with  a few days in Scotland to visit family and to give my grandmother an obscenely large wedding photo album, followed by a flight to Tanzania with an attempt(!) at climbing Mount Kilimanjaro with friends Juli and Todd and finally a lovely week in Lamu, Kenya to celebrate Alice's 30th, Julie Nis' 26th and Sally's 60th birthdays. 

Rather than filling everyone's mailboxes with mass emails, we'll be updating this page every few days with the latest news (and pictures if we can figure out how!).  We'll also be checking our email regularly, so please keep in touch.

Last piece of news to report today is that we found out today that we'll be heading to Portland for Lynn's fellowship in infectious disease when we return from Uganda in the summer of 2009- so if you can't make it to Uganda next year, start looking into flights to Portland!
