November 3


I am back at the Air France counter around 8am and I get my boarding pass right away. We leave on time at 10:15. The flight is almost empty today. We land at Haiti's Toussaint Louverture International Airport right on schedule.
The disembarking passengers leave but the continuing ones must remain on board. They re-fuel and the new passengers arrive.

We take-off again this time on our way to Saint Martin. We land at the Juliana airport at 2:24pm. Passengers disembark but again continuing ones must remain on board.

A few new passengers get on for the last leg and we are ready for departure. Planes are having communication difficulties with the Tower and it looks like we will take a delay. There are a dozen of aircrafts waiting for their turn. We leave at 3:45pm. This is a quick flight. We land only 37mn later and are only 10mn late. It is always a great feeling to be in Guadeloupe. So many memories growing up here. And of course most of my family and some great friends still lives here.

My sister and my niece came to pick me up. I am so happy to see them. We drive right away to her house. There I change because it is so humid I am sweating doing nothing. I thought it was humid in Miami but here it is even worse.

We hang out a little and then go my brother’s. My nephews Florian and Lorenzo run to give me a hug. I have not seen them in over a year now. It is Lorenzo’s 6th birthday party. We stay there talking, laughing, enjoying cakes and sparkling cider until 1am!!!
I LOVE MY FAMILY.
