We're off...

Well, today's the big day! :)

Bags are packed (so far the zippers haven't burst, but they're close) and we're heading to the airport shortly. The crew from Yarmouth should be leaving any time, and we'll connect with them at Halifax airport late this morning for the flight to Montreal. We'll link up with Jim there and all fly to Port-au-Prince Haiti tomorrow morning.

Please keep us in your prayers as we travel. Thank you to all those who have helped make this trip possible - through prayer, financial contribution, donations of shoes and clothing, support to take the time off from work, and best wishes or encouragement. All have been appreciated!

We'll be sure to let you know as soon as we arrive safely - likely late Tuesday evening.

  1. Well, everyone made it to Halifax okay. Our flight to Montreal has been delayed - so far by 4 hours. Glad we don't connect through til to Haiti til Tuesday morning - no big deal being delayed today at least. :)
