Final day at home

Wow! I have so much stuff to take down. Yesterday I packed a suitcase and was fearful it was over. Took it to the post office to be weighed and it was almost 20 pounds over!!!! I switched out suitcases, took out my coffee and creamer, and begged someone else to take the 10 pound CDs and cases for me with their team. Mallery promises me she will get me coffee and creamer. ;-) Haitian coffee is so good!
I still need to pack my clothes in my carry on and one other suitcase is on it's way to being 50 pounds easily. It sure is different packing for 3 weeks with all the extra food you have to bring down. Doesn't help I am bring 2 fans and batteries this time too.
Lots of last minute errands today. Prescription pickup, trip to the bank, and double checking my suitcases again. It will all come together. So glad I started earlier than usual.
Leaving the house tomorrow 5:45 am for my 7:15 am flight. Flying Delta my first leg with a layover in Cincinatti before traveling on to Ft. Lauderdale. I will have a 2 hour and 45 minute layover to switch flights to American. I will need every minute to recheck in with American so I would so appreciate your prayers from that leg of the trip on to Port au Prince. The airport in PAP can be absolutely crazy. I am so praying that Mallery will be able to come into the airport and meet me so I can avoid all the porters grabbing at my bags to make a buck. At this point wishing I was traveling with the team that left today. Safety in numbers for sure. ;-)Taking my netbook with me so I might be able to post while in the airports.
I will try to post everyday if the internet is available. Thanks for your good wishes and prayers.
Love, Kim
