Posting from the Miami International Airport. I’ve been in Haiti for a week with many adventures, but no internet access whatsoever at any of the places that we stayed. All the locations usually have satellite links, but for one reason or another all of them were offline. I mention this for the benefit of those of you who think I’m insane for going to Haiti at all and may have been worried. All is well.
This was my third trip, and it was quite different and yet very much the same as the others. Haiti still has incredible poverty, and the conspicuous consumption and gluttony in the airport has me a bit dazzled.
I have perhaps 800 pictures to sort through, and another airplane ride before I get home. The OLPC doesn’t really support my camera, so I’ll have to wait until then to sort them.
–UPDATE–
My flight to Boston was supposed to leave at 4:15. The board now says “5:00”, but the man at the podium is predicting more like “9:00”.
They so can’t scare me with this crap right now. I am so totally comfortable just having this here patch of floor, and the air conditioning on. What, only a four hour wait? I’ve had worse today. I woke up at 5am in HAITI for god’s sake.
— UPDATE TWO MINUTES LATER —
Okay, fine. We’re boarding now.
