We leave for Haiti tomorrow – actually for Monte Christi, the town on the far northwest corner of the DR, on the Haitian border. From there we will go an hour south on the border to Dajabon, cross into Haiti, and go north to Cap Hatienne. As we start to think about it, our anxieties are rising a bit – will we get scammed at the border? Will we get overwhelmed by Haiti’s poverty? Will we have access to any technologies –specifically ATMs – that we take for granted here and at home? I’m leaving my computer here. I think there will probably be internet access somewhere on the trip, but I want to travel lightly (as we will not be driving in Haiti – we drive to Monte Christi and take a bus / gua gua to the border) and not worry about where the nearest hi-speed hookup is.
