After canceled flights to Florida, and multiple rebookings, we all
made it to Florida. But we were much later than expected. Out
charter flight was moved from Ft Lauderdate, where we landed, to Miami.
Our late transfer to Miami meant a second night of four hours or less of
sleep. We were downstairs by 4 am(EST) for the shuttle to the airport.
We were all weighed and scanned, and then we went in search of coffee.
Our flight to Cap Hatien went really well, with beautiful clouds.
When we finally landed at the airport, we were surprised to find
that half of our bags did not make it onto our flight. We ended up taking
a short excursion to pass the time.
Once we collected our bags, it was off to get water and snacks
before our 2 1/2 hour bus ride into the mountains.
It was an adventure to say the least. With many close calls
passing other vehicles. And LOTS of bumps. Thank goodness everyone
stayed in good spirits.
When we were almost to Our Lady of Miracles, there was an accident.
We all got out of the bus and our amazing driver squeaked past the tipped
over truck.
When we pulled into Gobert, all the people came out to wave and
cheer and Father Mark waved back.
Everyone was so happy to finally arrive, even if we were extremely
tired and late.
