So here it is, a mere week after hearing about this expedition to Haiti, we are gathering at Summit Surgery Center to depart for Phoenix. My traveling companions are, Lina Carlucci, Amy Prince, Ellena Kirschner, and Dave Kumasaka.
Our plane leaves PHX at 255 P.M. local time and arrives in Charlotte,NC at 845 P.M. We decided to leave Flagstaff by 10 A.M. since it is a 2.5 ish hour drive to PHX with traffic and construction. During the car ride we were working on our Creole' phrases and generally keeping spirits high with talk of the adventure ahead. We arrived at Sky Harbor by 1240 and were on our way! 3 and a half hours later we are in Charlotte!! That is when we found out our plane to Miami was delayed with no arrival time yet. Good thing the Olympics were on.
Our connecting flight arrived in Charlotte at 1210 A.M. we made it to Miami by 330 A.M. Woo-Hoo, Half way to Haiti. A quick 4 hours of sleep and we are ready to finish the travel part of this journey.
Let's do this!!

All of you are doing a wonderful thing in that you are selflessly serving fellow human beings in dire need. I think that you all represent what is right in the American people and hope that you will accept my prayers for your strength and safety no matter what your beliefs...I will keep you close in my thoughts and heart.
