The Final Countdown...
I enjoyed the weekend before departure at my sister's, with my mom, brother in law and nephews. It was a beautiful drive with some of the most vivid fall colors I can remember. Now I have to decide what 7 outfits to take for a 2 month trip, finish laundry, try to pack all the stuff has been sitting on dressers and in corners into one large suitcase plus a carry-on bag. My husband bought me some space saver bags..let's hope they actually work!
The last email I received from the mission clinic in Haiti reported that there were 200 people on the waiting list for physical therapy. I don't think I will even have time to be home sick! I have set up a Skype account so if anyone wants to communicate with me, just look up my name and I'll add you as contact. I leave for the cities Thursday afternoon and my plane leaves for Port au Prince, Haiti on Friday morning at 6 am. I hope to do my next post sometime this weekend after I arrive and get settled. Ready or not, there I go...
