En Route

     My labor patient delivered late last night, so I got home and packed before midnight.  I couldn't find a copy of my medical license, so back to the office where I left it.  Finally got to bed around 0100.
     We are finally on our way. I arrived at the church at 0600 (also known as zero dark thirty) to meet the rest of the crew minus the two that we were to meet in Ft. Lauderdale.  Twenty-one bags, each weighing the maximum 50#, containing our personal gear, medicines and medical supplies were loaded into the church van and bus.  In addition to this, we also each had two carry on bags.Off to the airport, hoping to get out before the big predicted snowfall.
     As we boarded, a light snow was falling, but before we pushed out a heavy snow was falling requiring an extensive de-ice.  We then had an uneventful flight to Ft. Lauderdale via Atlanta, but I wouldn't know since I slept most of the way.  We met the last two of our party in Florida and then it took two more vehicles to cart us and all of our gear to Ft. Pierce where tomorrow morning we will depart for Haiti.  As a pilot, I'm interested in seeing the type of aircraft we will use. The MFI website showed a DC-3, a WWII vintage transport, and if this is the case, I look forward to flying in that.
     The members of the team are:
          Dr. Pierre Augustin-Anesthesiologist
          Dr. Bill Engle-Neonatologist
          Dr. Jim Grannell-Orthopedic Surgeon
          Mr. David Huse-Prosthetist (he makes prosthetic limbs)
          Dr. Ian Johnston-OB/GYN
          Dr. Lee Mitchell-Dentist
          Mrs. Carolyn Olivier, R.N.
          Dr. Jeff Steele-Dentist
          Mrs. Linda Strickland, R.N., Nurse Practitioner
     Again, I hope there is service in Haiti so this can continue.  I'm looking forward to tomorrow
