Unfortunately neither one of us really journaled about our journey in November.
Of course we had tried to plan a bit for what we thought we might need. We packed 5 suitcases to the brim with medications (from A-analgesics to Z-zithromax), vitamins, supplies, toys, soccerballs, handcrafted dolls, homeopathic oils, and other assorted remedies. We left the big box of ORS packets we had created safely ziplocked together in a box back home. We were hoping the cholera crisis was contained.
To be honest, we were probably more that a bit distracted by the upcoming hurricane alert.
"It's not a big deal here, really" our team leaders in PAP said, "they happen all the time, and there may be a lot of flooding and then you guys can get out there and dish out the medical care afterwards".
Ooooh, yes, we were set for that activity- we even brought 2 umbrellas!
We also wondered how much things over the 6 months since our last mission.

We arrived on a bigtime Haitian holiday and there was a
BAND playing as we walked to the customs area! |
 |
| Rock on DIGICEL! Woohoo! |
 |
| Could this be the plane that would later fly Baby Doc back to PAP??? |
