Home again

Home again

I’m home after a period of five weeks I can tell you this has been a very intense period.

There have been periods of hard working days a specially in the beginning, later I found my way and know my own limits. The day’s over there where specially hard when my wife’s  father was diagnosis Long cancer and I was not there to comforted her, or when my son conquer his first big Judo cup.

But knowing I was able to help in my maybe even simple and small bit in the relief for the people of Haiti makes it worth my wile.

In these five weeks I have been involved  in things I know well through my current job starting a dispatch system for the truck movements and all about tracking air paper work and arranging transportation for the material we needed to transport by helicopter in a hurry but also there are a lot of things I have never done before, I did not know what paper work I needed to require license plates for cars, or how to work with the local customs agencies.

I learned a lot.

But I’m very happy to be at home.

My son (10)did not let me go for 3 days, the only thing he did not like when I came back he needed to sleep in his own bed again. My daughter (13) had quite a lot to tell me about her new Boy friend  

:-<  and what she has been doing in the weeks I was gone.

My wife And I both really missed each other and again know why we started to love each other 20 years ago.

 Would I do it again ??

Yes for sure ! There is now doubt in my mind.

I wish a the TNT UPS and WFP people I left over there all the best.

They are a great hard working group of people!
