Wintry mix was the forecast for Friday afternoon. On the way to Shreveport Friday afternoon, Tom and I saw what was a first for me in Louisiana - salt trucks. After having lived in Michigan for 12 years, it was not an unusual sight but for Louisiana it sure was.
Following a wonderful dinner of grilled red fish, we headed to bed around 9:00 because we needed to be up at 4:00 or so for our 7:00am flight. When I got up this morning I saw that I had a voicemail. It was from American Airlines saying that our flight was now scheduled to leave at 9:30am. Of course our flight from Dallas to Miami was supposed to leave before that. So Karen got on the phone to see what arrangements could be made.
It became obvious that getting to Port au Prince today (Saturday) was not going to happen. We are now confirmed on a flight out of Shreveport at noon and arriving in Miami after 9pm. Then we will fly out of Miami at 7 in the morning. So, an overnight stay in Miami tonight.
Four of our team are leaving out of Monroe, and there seems to be no problem with their flight. Now we have to get touch with our Haiti friends to rearrange where John, Clyde, Pat and Ed can spend the night tonight. Our original plan was to drive part of the way to Les Cayes today. That won't work now!
Continue to keep us in your prayers!
