Mount Kilimanjaro - with its three volcanic cones, "Kibo", "Mawenzi", and "Shira", is a dormant volcano in Tanzania. It is the highest mountain in Africa. The first recorded ascent to the summit of the mountain was by Hans Meyer and Ludwig Purtscheller in 1889. The mountain is part of the Kilimanjaro National Park and is a major climbing destination. The mountain has been the subject of many scientific studies because of its shrinking glaciers.
I was looking into taking a vacation over Christmas break, and Milica from Trip Designs suggested going to Hawaii, and to be more specific, island hopping. First we went to Oahu and next to Kauai. As I never been to Kauai I needed some ideas on where to stay, and based on Milica's suggestion we strayed at Sheraton Kauai Resort. I was so glad I followed her suggestion, as the hotel had beautiful views, nice beach and it's very kids friendly. They also offer breakfast buffet, with a wide variety of food, perfect for picky eaters as well as grownups. Nothing beats the fresh bowl of pineapple for breakfast! Pool was perfect for kids, but the best part was surf lessons. My 8 year old son learned how to surf thanks to the best surf instructors! Thank you Trip designs for making my Christmas break so enjoyable.
