Travel Day!

Whew!

I applaud those that got up early this morning to meet at Summit Surgery Center at 6:00am to carpool down to Phoenix! Hopefully someone took some pictures and will post them.

The majority of our group arrived at Sky Harbor just before 9:00am. Group Check-in allows for "special" services as they opened a ticketing/check-in counter just for us! Only one or two pieces of luggage were repacked to consolidate and take advantage of no baggage fees for "medical supplies."


Security Check Point went smoothly... a few members learned how to "Fast Pass"... that is, as we snaked back and forth through the queue, when they came up to a member of the group that was ahead of them, they went under the rope and joined them!

Of course a few required some "extra" attention!

I was only aware of three of our group that needed such attention... however, I am happy to report that everyone was cleared and was able to continue on!





Both legs of our trip, Phoenix to Charlotte and Charlotte to Miami were pretty uneventful. Of course we had to wait for our luggage in Miami...

Luckily, all of our checked bags and crates arrived!

From there we dispersed to two different hotels. We have yet another wave of arrivals still coming in though. Last report was that they are delayed in Charlotte and will not arrive until 3:00 or 4:00 am local-time. Good thing we have a late check-out tomorrow!

Tomorrow is the day we go to Haiti! Currently we are scheduled to depart at 5:45pm local-time. About one and a half hours to Haiti from Miami. Although there has been some concern, as they have recently restarted commercial flights into and out of the Port-Au-Prince airport and delays have been reported.

Please check out the PHOTO'S PAGE, as this is where the majority of the photos will be posted.
