We are now in Miami wrapping up the final preparations aka making sure we have everything packed that we will need in Haiti. The good news is that our flights with Air France are still scheduled to depart tomorrow morning (yeah!).
We did find some awesome duffle bags and ended up repacking everything from the tubs into those bags in a Chevron gas station parking lot. We were quite the site moving bottles of hydrogene peroxide, bottles of shampoo, feminine products, tarps and all the other items. So much so that one gentleman asked us if we were okay :) This gave us the opportunity to share about our trip and give him the blog site (Hi Rich, if you are reading this!).
Our original plans on the ground in Haiti changed some also. We will be picked up by our friend Jason and his contact Roberto who will take us up to Montrouis (2.5 hours north of Port-Au-Prince). We were already informed that our first task will be to divy up big bags of rice into smaller portions to bring to families in Port-Au-Prince. We are super excited to be part of that - what a great opportunity to meet the locals!
So, if you look at your watches tomorrow at 10:30am, please know that we have landed in Port-Au-Prince and are ready to tackle the next part of this adventure. We will try to keep you posted!
