On my way!

I think the airport experience may be the most stressful part of the whole trip. Airports are no fun anymore and since they charge for luggage check now people try to carry on everything! Thereby backing up security. I am in Ft. Lauderdale at my gate, and I must admit that I am feeling alone and nervous. From what I understand the Port-au-Prince airport is chaotic!

Everyone has been so supportive so farj calling, texting, facebooking well wishes! I appreciate it so much! I do want to thank some people specifically as well. I do have faith, I don't talk about it often. But I do see His work in my life. There are people that I haven't even known for 3 months yet who are helping me out so much. First, my friend and co worker, Jenny Rhyne pretty much furnished my trip! She has traveled a ton to exotic areas and lent me her luggage, clothes (we are even the same size!) and gear. She has also given me some valuable advice. I would have gone broke boarding my dog, Frisco if it wasn't for my neighbor, David Yoder, who offered to watch him for free!my other co-worker, Briana Blackwelder has been so supportive and even gave me a care package on my last day of work including water bottle, bug spray, and first aid kit. Finally, my neighbor, Scott, drove me to the airport early this morning so that I wouldn't have to deal with the parking and shuttles ugh!!!

I don't really have any expectations. I'm going into this with an open mind. I have had e-mail contact the last few days with the PT that I will be replacing. I will meet with her tonite and I assume she will orient me. All I know so far is that I am staying at the Project Hope compound on the weekend and sleeping at the Adventist Hospital during the week where I will be working. I will not. Have any cell phone service, but I will have Internet at the facilities. Well, I'm going to get some food before we go since it will be beans n rice for the next coiuple of weeks. Oh, I apologize for the layout, I did this on my Blackberry, not easy!

Peace!
