I was up and moving early. Our flight is to depart about 1530 DR time (Indianapolis time +1), change planes in Atlanta, then on to Indianapolis, arriving about 2330. At this time the Atlanta airport is closed because of the snowstorm that hit the east coast. We will just go to the airport and see what happens. Either way, we will get home eventually.
Further thoughts on Port au Prince. As we passed some of the demolished buildings, you could see people climbing through the rubble and searching. Whether looking for possessions, friends or relatives I don't know. At one site, a small crowd had gathered and were pointing and were very animated. Again, I don't know what they had found. The streets were very crowded. Some of the buildings were leaning so much that it makes one think of a house of cards, one little nudge and it too will come crashing down crushing the crowds in the street. We saw both Canadian and Brazilian soldiers patrolling the streets.
When I do get home, I will search through my hundreds of photos that are now on my camera and add to this site. I have also asked other members of the group to add comments, so the site will stay up with updates after we get home.
Off for now to finalize packing. Who me, packing last minute. Some of you know me.
