Very nice. If you have the time -and what's more, the money..- then this would be a perfect  trip!

If I only had more money... Hey, I'll check my lotto ticket tonight and who knows!

Hey Maubrey
To save time and money you could always have Day 13 Arrow Glacier to Ash Pit (have a quick look) summit and then hike out to Mweka Park Gate.  Saves two days   What do you reckon
