The Mountaineers Kissing Kilimanjaro

• Author: Daniel Dorr
• ISBN: 9781594853708
• Mount Kilimanjaro is sometimes called "Everyman's Everest" because it is possible for a novice climber to reach the summit
• And every year, more than 30,000 adventure tourists try
• But for each person who goes to the mountain, there are thousands more who chat about it at cocktail parties, making plans to go...someday
• That's how Daniel Dorr got started: flirting with a beautiful brunette over hot cocoa and spouting impressive plans
• Six months later, he was lying on the cold gravel trail at 18,000 feet, panting and hacking in the darkness
• Dorr is a typical marketing exec by day but, amped up by his re-acquaintance with a romantic interest, he gained the determination to pursue one of his lifelong dreams -- summiting Kilimanjaro
• When Dorr left behind the familiarity of his weekend-warrior lifestyle in Southern California to reach the top of the 19,340-foot peak, he didn't realize he would cross a threshold to a new way of life
• As he fondles expensive hi-tech gear, gets vaccinated for the jungle, travels local-style across East Africa, and vomits on top of the African continent, readers share in the rewards, both large and small, of reaching for personal fulfillment through adventure travel.
