International Response Fund

Will this trip get off the ground?

OK, another issue is cropping up.  The tough thing about these sorts of emergency response trips is that the logistics are a nightmare.  From the beginning, when we first found out about this, getting everything arranged, covering shifts, etc., has been challenging and some times the trip was a go, other times it was off.  After this mornings issues, it seemed like all was in order, the whole group had flights scheduled to Chicago, then in the morning there was a chartered United flight going to Haiti from Chicago.  Heading back, it was a flight from Haiti to Miami, then Miami to Los Angeles and finally from there back home.

Well now it seems that the American Airlines flight from Haiti to Miami is canceled, and there is no service planned until the 19th at the earliest.  So unless there is some news from the group leader in regards to a new way back home, the whole trip may unfortunately be off. 

Will post more as we know more.
