Team preparations are ramping up...

Dave B and I both contacted Florida Coastal Air this morning to determine if cargo is bumping luggage from flights to CAP. They say NO. So, we are sticking to the plan to carry the two inverters, the control panel, some wiring, fixtures, tools and the solar panel frames in our luggage.

Dorothy had no news from Haiti, I tried to call Linda but only get a busy signal, so far. Apart from the assurance that people are OK,
frequent or regularly spaced calls can't be expected...it's too tough.

After another excellent Wonderful Wednesday meal tonight, Bob, Elena, Carla and myself split up the current stockpile of essentials, some of which were mentioned above...we are limited to 50# each plus a 10# carry on bag...sound easy? it's not.

Sen. Jason Allen returned my call on another matter today, wished us all well and made a very good suggestion which has been taken care of. We provided Sen. Carl Levin, Rep. Dave Camp and Sen. Allen's offices with our contact info and their info has been emailed to each member...just in case. Great idea Jason!

We have a great team, lots of expertise, strong faith and dedication plus the support of a very caring and generous congregation. Blessings to all.

Those of us who are returning to Haiti look forward to seeing friends and co-workers, making new friends, expanding our reach into the village that's near the clinic and delighting in the children. All team members will have experiences that too few choose to try.

Thanks for taking time to keep us updated. I hope once you are gone we will still be able to follow your journey.
