DAY 2

I made it safely to Port-Au-Prince following a red eye flight from Portland. I left at 5:50pm and flew to LAX. After a short layover and a nearly missed flight, I was blessed to get the whole row to myself. You better believe I stretched out across all three seats for the 5 hour flight :) It was fabulous, even if I only got about an hour of sleep. Then from Miami I flew into Port-Au-Prince. The airport this time was a very different situation from last time. A flight from New York had come in right before our flight so the wait in the customs line was probably about an hour. Once I cleared that I had to wade through the piles of bags laying around to find my two bags. Then it was dodgy getting out to the parking lot. I was met by Ted, the MTI country director and a quick drive placed me safely home.

I crashed for a long nap and then unpacked my bags last night. Then I slept like a log. Today the plan is to head with some MTI staff members out to Canaan, the site of a potential new clinic.
It feels good to be back in Haiti. Though I already miss my friends and family dearly. I really can't complain about the 80 degree weather and the sunshine.
