We Are Off to the Races!!!!!!

Tomorrow is the big day!  Flying to Haiti!  I am very excited but a little trepidatious.

We will be landing at 2:25pm (12:25pm Calgary time) in Port-au-Prince, waiting for another volunteer to land at 3pm and then it is off to Leogane (in the map below, it is just west of Port-au-Prince) where we will be doing good deeds and making friends, I hope.

We are currently scheduled to be in Leogane until November 12 and hope to extend our stay with All Hands but will know better after working with them for a while.

We have been advised that internet is available but that using Skype is kinda not cool as it sucks up so much bandwidth so I am afraid that if anyone wants to chat, it will have to mostly be via e-mail (which I am happy to do)!

I will try to post tomorrow night after we arrive but it may get a bit crazy because we have to go through orientation and safety training.

We miss everyone very much and have hankerings for home but we must persevere!
