What Happens When You Get to Port au Prince!

John, Clyde, Pat, and Ed left Monroe for Haiti while the other four of us were trying to figure out how to leave Louisiana. As my group was flying to Miami, the Monroe group was flying to Haiti. As we were leaving, we got a phone call saying that our interpreter was not at the airport to meet them. What can we do when we are flying? I was able to get wifi on the plane and emailed Ancy, the interpreter. didn't hear from him while we were in the air. While we were waiting for the shuttle to the motel, I called Ancy in Haiti and found out that our group had made it to the guest house. Good news!

While it was good news that they made it to the guesthouse, it was extremely stressful for them to get there. Ancy had sent someone else to pick them up but our group didn't know that. They ended up finding a taxi to take them to the guesthouse.

Tom, Danny, Karen, and I stayed at La Quinta near the Miami airport. That was interesting too. When Danny and Karen tried to find us a motel, we found out that Expedia got us rooms alright - in two motels 20 minutes apart. Took a while but we finally got rooms in one place. We had a great dinner at a Cuban restaurant around 9:15 pm.

An exhausting day!
