Haiti
 
I'm scheduled to go to Haiti next month for business (50/50 chance, at this point). Have any dwellars been there? Do you have any good survival tips?

I'll mostly be in Port Au Prince (PaP) and surrounding environs.

I plan to take several energy bars and some powdered water.

When my mom worked at the clinic, her nurse friend had been there to volunteer. All I know is that mom says D says she stepped off the plane and looked around and wondered what she'd gotten herself into. But a good experience overall I think. so I'm not much help but I'll start taking donations for powdered water.

Last night I watched a documentary "Frontline: Battle for Haiti" which is about 4,500 inmates that escaped from prison during the earthquake and the on-going efforts to capture them.

I might watch some other Haiti documentaries to learn more about the country before I go.

Wait, its 2012 and you're going to Haiti?

Don't have any identification or money on you.
Don't give anything to anyone, no matter how much you may feel compelled to do so.

My father was there a few years ago. He had a very interesting experience.

Why no identification? How will they identify the body?

Sundae 01-01-2012 02:57 PM

By your Prince Albert?

Stigmata?

Last night I watched The Serpent and the Rainbow. Now I know what to expect.
