1-13-24 Saturday 6:29AM (Eastern U.S. Time) – Air Mobile… “HOMEWARD BOUND” – A Fairfield Inn – Cleveland TN – Report submitted by Air Mobile Joe

This January 13, 2024 is just such a day.  

For you see, on January 13, 2010 I flew a friends Cessna 402 and landed in Haiti…the first private aircraft to land in Haiti following the worst catastrophic earthquake in modern history.  250,000 + died.  I cry…it was a day….I’ll never forget.

At the same time, I celebrate January 13, 1951 when a little Cajun Momma named Evelyn gave birth to a baby boy at the Old Our Lady of the Lake Hospital in Baton Rouge, LA and named him Joseph.  

THANK YOU Momma for going through that tough 24 hour labor (it was a complicated birth) and bringing me into this world.

So, here I sit, sipping a cup of coffee and remembering those 2 dates and have a mixture of sadness and joy all wrapped up together.

Yesterday, on the next leg of my journey home, I departed Heathrow International Airport (LHR) in London on a Virgin Atlantic A350-1000 for the 9 hour flight to the U.S. – Atlanta (ATL).  The Captain did a good job on turbulent Minimum visibility approach.

Once on the ground, I was met by my good friend, Will Hume who gave me a ride back to his house.  Saved me a lot of money on parking.  THANK YOU WILL!

I then hit the road in my trusty Ford Escape for the trip home to my sweet Cindy in our retreat cabin.  Got about half way home and was seriously tired.  Pulled into a Fairfield Inn in Cleveland, TN for a good nights sleep.

I’m wrapping up this “Mission to South Africa”.  It was an amazing trip and many new doors have been opened.  The best is yet to come.

So, this morning, I want to THANK YOU for meandering down this “Road of Life” with me. Your invaluable prayer, love and support is vital to me and I say again….THANK YOU!!
