We're in Miami...waiting

Feb. 5, MIAMI -- So far, so good.
The team is now in Miami waiting for our noon flight to Managua. The morning went smoothly, though not without the usual Rubadoux hiccup.
Team members rendezvoused at Holy Name of Jesus Catholic Church in Indialantic where we received rides from two gracious volunteers. One of them is my good friend Gaylon Parker who would not even accept a dime for gasoline.
"Making me take that money will take away my joy of doing this," he said.
A few members were going to meet us at the airport. But when we were about to check in, we noticed that photographer Craig Rubadoux was not among us. I called his home phone number and much to my chagrin, he answered. Lucky I woke him up.
Anyway, he made it just fine and we took the 35 minute flight from Orlando to Miami. Now, after an $8 omelet, team members are huddled together for warmth!
We can't wait to get to the 95 degree temps of Nicaragua. The plan today is to drive from Managua -- the capital -- to Nueva Guinea -- about six hours away.
The Medical work begins tomorrow, or manana -- need to practice my Spanish now I guess.
