The adventure has begun

Tom writing today... 

The team has gathered at Heathrow Airport for their quest. I've been watching Lord of the Rings but this isn't Rivendell. However certain members struggled in security due to liquids in their cabin luggage. Watch this space in case we encounter any other challenges. We have made extensive plans for our travels and activities, I've probably forgotten half of them, but in any case who knows how much of what we planned will survive contact with the reality of life in East Africa? So, while I have a vague anxiety about how I will manage, mostly I just think that whatever happens will be fine.
