As a traveler I've been to many different countries and many of the islands in the Caribbean. However, my experience with Haiti is limited to my wife Crystal's first hand experiences and my stops in Labadee Haiti on a cruise shop. Needless to said my cruise experiences are somewhat different from the reality on the ground in Haiti.

That is about to change. At the end of April 2014 I will be going on my first formal mission trip, to Haiti.
Haiti, our neighbor, and the poorest country in the world.
As part of our formal preparation we are reading a book called The Big Truck That Went By. It is a reporters first hand account of the earthquake and his attempts to follow the aid money trail following the earthquake.
