The current plan is to work on packing the Rubbermaid-suitcases - leaving a couple to live out of. As soon as that happens, we'll be moving to my parent's house a couple miles away and then working to cleanup our house so everything is ready for closing on the 20th of June.
We'll leave on the 30th real early in the morning. From Minneapolis, we'll go to Miami and have about an hour before we catch the flight to Port-au-Price. We hope to go from the airport to the orpahange to pick Lou up and then off to the Baptist Haiti Mission from there. It will be a long day! I assume we'll have to do a little food shopping once we get there unless we bring enough in the carry-ons to last a day or two.
Packing the carry-ons will be interesting. Food (no liquids) and reading/entertainment for the trip there will be part of what is packed. The other part will be whatever we can fit that wouldn't fit in the Rubbermaid-suitcases. We'll be really loaded down in MPLS and then again in Port-au-Prince with all the luggage.
There is a trial period for people new to the mission during which time both parties (us and the folks at BHM) determine if we are a good fit. If things work out, we'll be there indefinitely and we'll bring Lou back to the States to see friends and family during a couple week trip. Some of this feels so far out that I don't like to make predictions about it; and, as always, it is all Lord willing.
