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.

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?

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