We were supposed to catch a 10:25 flight from Miami to Port Au Prince and then transfer to another flight from PAP to Les Cayes on the South East coast, where the facility is located. Due to complications with rental car returns at the Miami airport, we missed our check in by 7 minutes and got put on the next flight which was 6 hours later. Haiti can be a bit unpredictable and safety for American travelers is always an issue, so this was not a good thing. This setback left us with no way to catch up with our team, and no way to catch the connecting flight. Instead, we spent the first night in PAP at a guesthouse. Despite the obvious hassle, this detour provided us with an opportunity to see a little bit more of Haiti than we thought we would see.
Attached are a few pictures of some of the sights that we saw in Port au Prince.
