Got up & walked about a mile to McDonalds for some quality breakfast!
Got back to the hotel, checked out - got to the airport & tried booking a flight to Port-au-Prince. Today we were helped by the nicest people in the airport.
Five of our group got seats assigned for the next flight out around noon. The rest of us were put on the waiting list.
The first plane left with five, leaving six of us in Miami. Three of our group still in Miami were on the top of the waiting list & made it on the 2:00 flight! The last three of us (Lauren, Chris & myself) were around the 60s on the 70 person waiting list.
Due to three flights to Haiti being cancelled yesterday - there was quite a crowd trying to get back home. We were bumped to the waiting list for the 6:50 AM flight.
The three of us made our way back to the hotel. Chris & I had some very good conversations. I learned how he's busier now in retirement than he was before. Crazy.
The eight made it to Haiti safe & have all of our luggage. Prayers for their safety & service would be appreciated!
The first shuttle to the airport leaves at 5:00 AM, so we'll be catching that & getting in line for our 6:50 AM flight out in the morning - & if it's God's will, we'll be on it.
With half the group in Haiti & three of us here; from the hotel bed in Miami, God Bless!
