The journey begins. After an unbelievable night spent with family and friends at the McMorrow-Lundy wedding it was time to start focusing 0n my Journey. I had a good night’s sleep even in anticipation of this trip I was about to take. I had a super Mother’s Day breakfast with my family and then we all headed to the Peoria Airport. My youngest daughter Sydney who is 7 did a supply check for me. She said “ ok mom, you have your medicine and food for the people to make them better right? And your clothes don’t forget to leave them for the people there that need them when you leave.” I promptly said ok. Of course Zach said “mom come on could you please bring home a couple of brothers for me. “ And my maddy just wanted to know how long I would be gone and gave me the best hug a mother could ask for. And of course we can’t forget my better half. He is so tolerant of me and supports everything I want to do and made this journey possible for me. Check in went smooth at the airport. With my good buddy Tim Hinds on board and Jean our veteran FOTCOH traveler I felt at ease. FOTCOH is the organization we are doing this mission thru, Friends of the Children of Haiti. Tim Hinds a dear friend of both Chris and I is also along with me on this Journey. Splurged on a travel cart for the 50 pound bags we had to hall across the airport to the Miami Hotel. We are staying in the Miami Hotel at the airport tonight and then we catch a 940 flight to Haiti in the morning. Tonight will be a chill tonight as I prepare myself for what I am about to undertake.
