Ready to Leave


Well we have completed our planning and preparation for the Paraguay Trip. We had a last minute flurry of activity with a lot of e-mails back and forth with Paraguay in an attempt to finalize some last minute changes. At this point not much more can be done. We will just need to try to get the bags to the airport in the morning and then go hang out at the Miami airport for 10 hours, wow can't tell you how excited I am about that.

At this point we do have some conflicting info on how much the bags can way, if they can be checked through all the way, if we can get ticketed all the way through to Asuncion and if its going to cost us any additional $ to get the bags with glasses and meds down there. Oh well, kinda out of my hands now.

The overnight flight to Sao Paulo is really not all that bad, 10 hours or so and then a couple of hours layover before going on to Asuncion.

This year we get in early enough to get checked into the hotel and then head off to the Hospital (Centro Medico Bautista) for a lunch and reception. I hope we can make it an early evening since we need to leave Sunday around 5:00 am for our first clinic. That is going to be the killer day I think, it usually is the hardest day.

Well I'll update throughout the week and let everyone know whats happening down south.

Keep us in your prayers and know that we will be thinking about home throughout the week. And remember - It is what it is
