Day 1 Home to Belize

A variation on a theme.  Rather than leaving at 1am for the 6am flight, we arrive at our church at 10pm to organize all the bags for 35 people and pile in the school bus for the drive to SFO arriving at 2:30am.  Brutal, but at least I wasn’t driving!  Great group of people, should be a good time.   Once the ticket counter opens, another wait, then a flight to Dallas, short layover, then on down to Belize City.  From there a six hour bus ride to Punta Gordo, our destination. 

Another church, from Canada, attempted to do the same on Monday, they still haven’t arrived.  The mission bus broke down, they spent an extra two days getting south.  We have arranged for a commercial bus to take us down south.  Nice.

Around 200 pounds of dental equipment and supplies.  Mostly in 4 bags with a smattering of supplies tucked away in our suitcases.  I asked the other docs to bring some supplies too.  Preparing for 400 plus patients requires a lot of disposables.
