So, this is gonna be quick and you’ll understand why in a second…..but I am back from Haiti!
Y’all, I had the absolute most unbelievable experience and I can’t wait to share it with you. However, it has also been one of the most thought-provoking and intense trips of my life and quite honestly, I’m not ready to put everything into words. I’m working on it and I plan on getting a pen to paper next week….so be prepared because there will definitely be MANY posts!
My flight was supposed to land at midnight last night but because of various airline issues that you’ll read about later, Angel and I spent the night in the Dulles airport. Let me tell you HOW cozy that was after a full day of flights!

| In addition to being uncomfortable, it was flipping cold! |

| Somehow Angel was able to sleep in this morning! |
We finally managed to catch a flight back to Denver this morning (on a whopping 2 hours of sleep!) and landed around noon. Unfortunately, I also needed to get our company’s W-2 forms out to all of our employees, so I literally drove straight from the airport to the office. I spent all afternoon taking care of the tax stuff before finally heading home around 5pm this evening.
Y’all, I am so exhausted that I can’t even put it into words!
The kicker is that I need to rally shortly because I need to pack up my suitcases for round two! For those of you that don’t know, I am headed to the Winter Outdoor Retailer (OR) show tomorrow. Basically, all of the outdoor gear companies congregate in Salt Lake to show off the gear that they have coming out next year. I’ve set up a few appointments with various companies to check some of the stuff out, so I am pretty excited. I was also happy to find out that my little ol’ blog qualified for a media pass all on its own, so I didn’t need to use one of the passes that were offered to me by other companies. It’s the little things, you know?
I’ll be in SLC until Sunday morning when I will then head to Targhee Resort in Wyoming! GeigerRig is hosting a blogger/media get together and I was lucky enough to be invited. I know we’ll be spending our days skiing, snowshoeing and snowmobiling, but that’s about all the info I have for now. I’m very excited….but I am also in panic mode about packing. Good thing I just cleaned out all my closets, right?!
I’ll try to continue blogging through SLC and Targhee so that I can jump right into Haiti stories next week. I don’t return till Tuesday night, but I’ll fit it all in somewhere!
And y’all, I promise that they will be good….
…..I mean, this is what my foot looks like as of today. Word to the wise? Try to avoid sea urchins. They cause nothing but problems!
