Finally, for those of us going, it is time to depart.  We have planned and packed, prepared and pondered.  And now it is time to pile on the plane.  A brief stop in Miami to say hi to all the March breakers and then on to Port au Prince.

We have done a little bonding as a team.  We are quite a mixed bag.  An Italian, an Ecuadorian, one of Motley origins, a blonde and a bald (two terms nigh unto synonymous with having Dutch roots).  Likely just the travel will tell us a lot about each other.  Who worries, who packs light, who forgets their toothbrush, who talks to strangers, who is afraid to fly, and considering our 6:25 flight departure – who is a morning person…soon all this will be clear.

You are invited to journey with us via this blog.  We appreciate your thoughts and prayers.
