February 5, 2009 – Thursday – 9:38am (Eastern Time) – Miami International Airport – Enroute to Nicaragua – Report submitted by Joe Hurston (Air Mobile Joe) and Craig Rubadoux (Florida Today) looking on.

Air Mobile is definately on the move! We have 2 teams heading to Nicaragua and Haiti. John Torres of Florida Today was the inspiration behind the Nicargua Christian Medical Mission. John asked me to come along. We’ll be reporting on the Journey on this blog. Meanwhile, Joe Prussel, an extraordinary “Water Mule”, who has been on many Air Mobile missions around the world is leading the other team that is headed to Haiti this morning. Joe and team will be working in Ruuska Village (Barbara Walker’s Village). They will be doing some great construction and repairing and servicing Vortex Voyager water purifiers. We’ll endeavor to send some reports from them. Now, on to the Nicaragua Mission. John Torres contacted me several months ago with the idea of putting together a Medical Mission to Nicargaua. John has been with Air Mobile to Haiti multiple times, Indonesia following the terrible tsunami and other locations including New Orleans right after Hurricane Katrina. By the way, you may link to John’s blog at: http://nicamission2009.blogspot.com/ Our team of 11 are between flights at the Miami International Airport awaiting our flight to Managua. We will then cross the mountains to Nueva Guiena. After we get settled in, we’ll endeavor to send reports (depending on internet connection). Better run for now.

Will write more later.
