WE MADE IT

Yes we are in Haiti. Sorry no pictures today as we have been too busy to download any. We left Avoca at 6 on Friday evening and arrived in Buffalo about 8. When we got up at 3:30 we discovered 10 inches of fresh snow. We were able to get everyone to the airport by 4:30 and checked in with no problems. Unfortunately Delta could not get the ground crew in Buffalo to come open up the door to the jet way until 45 minutes after our scheduled departure time. By the time they got the plane ready and deiced we were 2 hours late departing. We landed in NYC as our plane for Haiti was departing and there were no more flights to Haiti for the day. Delta was great and put us up at a Double Tree for the night. We were able to get some rest and spend some time getting to know the other members of the team better.

This morning we were up at 5 and at the airport by 6. We moved thru ticketing and security with no issues and our gate was right next to security so we were all in and at the gate well before 7. Our flight down was very uneventful. I did get to watch a movie that I have been wanting to see for a couple of months. We were amazed at the changes we found at the airport. It was as modern as anything in the states. It normally takes us 2 hours to clear immigration, get our luggage and then go thru customs. We were 30 minutes today doing all three. Praise God they didn't even give our luggage a second look when it went thru customs. The only casulaty was a couple of applesauce cups. We were actually out of the airport before they got there to get us.We arrived safely at camp and have spent the afternoon and evening getting unpacked and getting organized for tomorrow. That means a lot of pills to count and bag. Everyone has been great about helping out.

Cindy and I are enjoying sitting on the roof under a clear Haitian sky writing this to you. We are once again amazed at how blessed we are to be here and are excited about what the week has in store. We have already made tenative plans to return in October. There is so much more we could tell you but we will try to write some more tomorrow and hopefully include some pictures.
