Well, we finally made it. It was a long journey from Chicago to Haiti, but we are here safe and sound. We only had a few minor mishaps along the way. Our luggage made it safely here. The trailer that hauled it the airport apparently fell apart on the way back to the air port, though. We all made it through security, however some peanut butter, sunblock, bug spray, and Nutella was not spared. Guess they should have all been in our checked luggage. It was 90 degrees when we arrived and the customs area was even hotter. Our group of 25 people strong, plus 55 checked luggage, plus carry on's all made it through without too much issue. The ride up to Mountain Top Ministries (MTM) was crazy as most of the group sat on top of the luggage on the back of 2 trucks for the 45 minute journey. We got a good view of the city and the devastation that the earthquake caused.
So happy to hear you got there safely! God is all over you guys right now...when I saw the post from Sandy, I knew for sure you were covered in protection! Have a wonderful day!!!
ReplyDeleteLike Angie, I am glad to hear that you got there without too much trouble. It sounds like there were a few items that some of the custom officers needed worse than they thought you did. At least the bugs will leave them alone for a few days. The ride sounds interesting and I am glad that I missed it.
