and I'm off...

Well it is 6:51am and I am packed and ready to go! I just have to make a quick stop at the bank for some US cash and drop my car off at Canadian Tire so that my brother in law can make sure it has an oil change while I am away (He manages the auto service dept.) Then my ride to the airport will meet me at CT and away to the airport I go!!

I'm am so glad to be done and packed!! Last night was a little stressful as the dryer here stopped working after my first load of laundry and it was all stuff I needed for my trip (majority anyways!) It did mean I ended up getting to hang with friends while I did my laundry but at first it just made all my emotions come to the top!!


I will try and update the blog if I can, otherwise you will have to wait till late August to hear all about my trip!! I know many of you will/are praying for my trip and I thank you for those prayers!

Please pray for safe flights & that I make all my connections! Also that any tropical storms/hurricanes stay far away from Haiti & Florida during my trip!

Ok - off to double check that I have everything and then get ready for my day!

Orevwa! M we ou pita!
(Good bye, I will see you later)

blisters...

So I've had a sore throat and this morning it started to really hurt to swallow so when I went to the doctor (previously scheduled to see about my ankle) this afternoon, I asked the doctor to check my throat and it turns out that I have a rather large blister on my throat! I had never heard of such a thing and found it kind of funny! Except that it HURTS - - my doctor gave my a prescription in hopes of it going away before I leave for Haiti in 12 days!

I'm also on anti-inflammatories for my ankle - the same one I hurt in Oct of 2006 when I fell out of the bus a month before my wedding! It has started to hurt again and with me leaving in less than 2 weeks, I didn't want to risk it getting worse while I was in Haiti.
