New Kind of Tired

Getting to Haiti is an adventure. Getting around Haiti is an adventure. Communicating in Haiti is also an adventure. I am getting my share of adventures and it is only day 1. I knew my fifth trip to Haiti was going to be be different but I guess I did not know how different. This is the first time I have dared to venture here alone. So I knew it would really be different. With no group members to talk with in the common area in the evening or at mid-day for that matter I would have to find different ways to entertain myself. If I forgot something I could not depend on someone else to cover me and borrow theirs. So i had to make sure I remembered to pack everything.
When I hit the Dallas airport and discovered my connecting flight was going to be late I though it would be a good time to charge all my stuff. I looked for my cell phone charger and not being able to find it I knew I needed one so I bought one at inflated airport prices.
My plane finally landed in Ft. Lauderdale and the airport was empty and since it was 1:00 am and my flight was leaving before 7 I found a nice quiet place to relax only about 30 minutes later hear, "sir, the concourse is closed you need to go beyond security. Out side the concourse because the cleaning crew was hard at work. I finally found a place to lie down and did manage a couple of hours of sleep.
When my plane arrived in Haiti early no one was there to pick me up so I ended up taking a cab to the guest house. It was a good thing I knew where it was because the driver did not.
I was greeted warmly at Walls and got my stuff unpacked since I was meeting with some folk at noon I decided not eat try to grab some lunch after we met. But as always people are late things don;t work out so my 2 oclock meeting ended up being a 3 oclock trip to a school. Which took an hour due to detours and heavy traffic. We left the school at five which happens to be dinner time at Walls and due to the lack of food and the lack of sleep. When I arrived back at Walls at 6 there was still some casserole and now I am fighting this trying to stay awake at 7 PM.
You are probably thinking my day was horrible but it wasn't. Got all the stuff delivered as promised. Spoke to some students about the importance of school. Saw some old friends and got the surprise of my life.
But more tormorrow. I am really tired.
