Last leg home...

We've had a good night in Montreal and been very well cared for by the Embassy in Port-au-Prince, the military flight crew, and the government and Red Cross when we arrived here.  (Embarrasingly well treated.)

They've already scheduled our new flights home.  Jim will be flying to Vancouver tonight around 6:20 pm Eastern, we believe via WestJet flight 683 or Air Canada 195.  (We don't have exact flight numbers yet, but those look to be the likely candidates.)

The Nova Scotia crew departs Montreal at 14:00 (2:00 pm) Eastern, we think via Air Canada flight 160.  (It's extremely strange, and very sad, for us to be going our separate ways now!!)

  1. When God brings us together for an opportunity to serve Him, it's amazing how fast bonds build between us. Even years after, you still feel close to those people. I'm sure the tragedy you all experienced only reinforces the bonds that much more.

    Praise God that you're all safe. May He grant you all an uneventful trip home on the last leg of your voyage.

  3. Welcome home to Canada!! It will be great to see all of you.

    I have been asked the question how much of the funds raised through this blog is actually sent to the Hands Across the Sea Association. Can someone post the answer on the blog for those that are questioning this. That would be great.

    Again Welcome home and God Bless

  6. Re: Donations, HATS is run by a small volunteer board. There are no administration "fees" or such except for e.g. bank / paypal charges and such. Aside from that, everything goes straight to Haiti and the direct operating costs of the HATS ministry.

    Sophie - thank you so much for your posting!!! You guys were great to us and we are so thankful for all that you did! (And nice job managing that lady who tried to get out of her stretcher during final approach! :)
