April 24/25

After a bit of a rest, now I have the energy to talk about my trip! I left Calgary at around 2:15 on Saturday and went through security and all that fine. I got through the airport at Dallas okay, even though it was only a 40 minute stop. It wasn't any problem at all. The flights were really long and had quite a bit of turbulents, but it didn't really upset me except that my stomach didn't feel the greatest on any of the flights. I arrived there at around 11:30 Miami time, which was ahead of schedule a bit - I still had to wait until around 6:00 for the next plane. I managed to sleep a little bit but there was a really loud TV and an alarm that went every 15 minutes. There were only five of us in that area of the airport and the lights were dark and it was kind of creepy. Miami airport is disgusting and freezing cold at night. The flight from Miami left a bit late, but we got to Haiti quite a bit early. I managed to get everywhere I needed to, and got through customs and picked up my luggage okay. It was opened but everything seemed to be there. Since my flight was earlier and I went out earlier, Tony wasn't there yet, so I waited... it wasn't that bad, but it was annoying. Haitians did bug me about taxi rides and cell phones and weren't impressed that I didn't speak Creole. I only had to wait for about five minutes and then Tony came! We arrived safely back at the school after navigating some bumpy roads and traffic jams.
