Flight Plan

I leave Denver on the 26th at 3:45 p.m., land in Miami around 11 p.m. I plan on meeting up with a family friend, Hannah, who is graciously sharing her hotel room with me before our flight to Port-au-Prince the next morning. Hannah works for the Children's Place, a Chicago-based organization that works to help families living with HIV/AIDS. I am grateful to be able to tag along with her, and planned my trip around hers so that I could fly in with someone and wouldn't be completely flying solo into post-earthquake Haiti. Although I have done that before in better times, and felt perfectly safe doing that, I wouldn't feel great about it this time for obvious reasons. I think a lot of family members feel better about my going now that I will be meeting up with someone else.
Two days to go, and the preparations are pretty much occupying all of my free time. I have so many supplies to bring, mostly donated by coworkers and friends, that I don't really know how it will all fit in my suitcases. I think I need Mary Poppins' carpet bag.
