What happens when a petite, menopausal, southern Mississippi Jewish homemaker is offered the adventure of a lifetime to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest peak? As a last minute invitee to fill a cancelled spot, she scours the internet for advice from a woman's perspective on the experience, but finds nothing. And thus so, was inspired to keep this journal account from beginning to end, encouraged by Phil Gray's book "Mt. Kilimanjaro Via the Marangu Route: Tourist Route My Ass" written upon his return .... er, survival. She finds the humorous "ups & downs" just too ridiculous to keep it all to herself.
