been BUSY

The past two weeks have been crazy busy but amazing just as well.  I have included some photos of my latest adventure- taking the Montero to Florida and leaving it at the shipping company to send off to Haiti.  I will call tomorrow to see how things are going- it is being reviewed by US Customs right now to determine if everything is OK to ship.  Then, it goes onto the boat from West Palm Beach, Florida and once the boat leaves it takes about 2 to 3 days to get to Haiti.  From there, it has to get into the country (this is the tricky part from what I hear).  We have no idea what the assessed value will be of the Montero and the contents but anticipate it being around $2000 US.  We also have a guy we can pay to stay with it and keep it safe as it sits in port once unloaded.  It is VERY common for them to get broken into and to have things stolen.  What is inside does not have great monetary value but it is full of items we will use for our house (base) in Haiti as well as donations for the orphanage and school.  Please pray with us that the SUV will just slide through this process with no trouble.  Thank you!  (and a very very special thank you to those who donated items to ship inside the Montero- if all arrives in Haiti safely it will save us a LOT of money to not have to buy all those things for the house)

View from the back- almost packed!  It got a lot more "cozy" inside there-

took a photo at every state I could on the drive to Florida

The company that is shipping the Montero.  Their boat is the Monarch Queen and it is HUGE!!
