3 a.m. comes very early if you're sleeping. I also found that it comes very quickly if you're packing. We were only a few minutes late when we left the house at 3:06, and we made it to the end of the street before we realized I had forgotten the pre-cooked bacon. Even with that tiny slip we made it to our first stop plus or minus 30 seconds. Dave basically jumped in the van as we came to a slow roll. No delay there. Don was just as ready, even though we had already made up several minutes and showed up at his house ahead of schedule. He was standing in his driveway, having already said goodbye to his family, twice aparently. Rick on the other hand?
To his credit, we were about 15 minutes ahead by that point. But we got to watch Rick's silhouette apply deodorant in his bedroom window, so we waited patiently in the driveway. Emily didn't think honking would be appropriate before 0400. We were still on the road about 5 minutes early.
The trip to airport with all aboard was lively considering the time of day. But we were, and are, excited and nervous. A quick breakfast at RDU and a short flight later, we're on the ramp in Miami about to pull back from the gate. Wheels down in Haiti is scheduled for 10:40. We truly have no idea what to expect. Thanks for the prayers. Smooth sailing so far. Messages for the bros can be left in the comments section.

P.S. We told you that David would only need 20 secs or less to load his stuff in the van!! LOL
We slowed to a roll, opened the doors, and Dave just jumped in!
