Sitting on a plane on the outside .. ;)

Well, I’m a on a flight to Haiti! Actually it’s a flight to Miami, but its step one to getting there. I can’t believe this day is finally here. For the past 8 weeks I have been waiting for this day and its finally here! I am so tired, but want to write this while its on my mind. Last night was crazy. If I start talking about it I will babble on, so let’s just say that it included a trip to Wal-Mart at midnight; a broken frappe machine; three license checks (yes, THREE); two trips to Walterboro .. And a partridge in a pear tree. Haha. I don’t even think that’s how that song goes, but oh well – its far too early for good blogging humor. I guess though it all came together because at 3:50 this morning I got in a car and at 6:13 I boarded a plane.
I cannot believe that I am on the way to Haiti! On the way to meet these children that I have prayed for and feel like I already love! So far so good on the flight except that I can’t figure out if we are over a mass of clouds or water. This might be sign that I should go back to sleep. I must have gone to sleep for about 10 minutes after we took off, and I am so glad I did! I’m not to fond of the going up, or the coming down. The whole time though I was just reminding myself that taking off is just like Mission Space, and I do Mission Space like a champ! So, I chanted “Mission Space” in my head while chomping on my chewing gum. Then it suddenly hit me that I was trying to calm myself by thinking about a ride that like three people had died on. Somehow after that thought I must have fallen asleep and I am glad I did!
So, under me is definitely water – a beach! Maybe somewhere in Jacksonville? I can kind of see a football stadium that might be the Jaguar’s stadium. Aw, saying (erm, typing) Jaguar makes me miss my Gucci! Nonetheless, the view from here is incredible. The way you can see all of the roads and how they connect and weave through places is amazing! It reminds me of looking at life. How often do we only focus on how we don’t like the road we are travelling on, not even bothering to realize that it is taking us to another, much greater road. Life is definitely a highway .. .

We made it to Miami! The flight went by pretty fast, but I think that’s because I slept through most of it. Now we are sitting at the airport waiting for our flight to Haiti! It takes off at 9:45, so we have about an hour before we hit the road again.

I'm trying to post pictures but its having issues tonight. I'll try again tomorrow.
