The Trip (as told by Tricia)

All I can inform you of is my brief phone conversations with my parents on their trips. Their flight left from Indy fine Monday morning. In Chicago they were faced with an hour delay which put them barley in time for their flight in Miami. They were not sure if their luggage was going to make the flight but they were happy to be on it themselves. Upon taxing out to the runway the plane was turned around due to a problem that is unknown to all. But this did give everyone time to eat and luggage time to catch up. Their flight eventually made it off the ground from Miami to Port-au-Prince, Haiti. The flight is ruffly an hour and a half so upon departing into Port-au-Prince their was a bad storm which created so turbulence on the plane and the pilot could not land the plane. He circles around and eventually turned around and went back to Miami while he still had the gas. The members of the team had to go back through customs, uncheck all 30 pieces of luggage and stay the night in a hotel in Miami then board a new flight at 7 o'clock this morning and are now happy to say they have made it to Haiti. But the "God"ness in it all is that last night on the flight from Miami to Port-au-Prince when the turbulence got horrible and Mom was scared my Dad reminder that is was shortly after 7pm and the church was praying for them. Mom will update you with more information and I know they already have pictures they are excited to share.
