Our Traveling Companions

For our second trip to Kenya, our friends from Minnesota, Gene and Kathy Norquist will be our traveling companions.  They normally book a rigourous tour each year through OAT ( Oversees Adventure Travel).  They have toured Machu Picu, Turkey, Bhutan, Nepal, Australia and New Zealand, all with much hiking and vigorous days out.  This time, we all will be the "caged ones" and the animals will the one who are free. 
 Kathy and I share Family and Consumer Sciences as our professional connection.

All four of us were in Indianapolis at a conference in 2012

In addition to the four of us, our long time friend Judy Freshman will also be joining us.  Some of you may remember that it was at Judy's urging in 2004 that we finally made the decision to travel to Kenya in 2005.  This was our first out of country travel with our brand new passports.  Since then, we have made up for lost time and traveled extensively.
