Homeless in Haiti
For a while, those of us who had to remain at the Hotel Montana thought we would be homeless in Haiti.
The hotel has overbooked for Tuesday night and we were going to have to check out -- with no place to stay! Since Saturday, I've been trying to get in touch with our travel agent or her office, but no luck! Someone on the hotel staff, understanding the difficulty everyone seems to be having getting out of Haiti, said we would be able to sleep on a terrace near the swimming pool. That was very reassuring! The last place I'd want to be is on the streets.
With the help of both the US Embassy and the staff at the Hotel Montana, we secured a room at the Kinam Hotel in Petionville, a part of Port au Prince.
We are very grateful that we will NOT be homeless in Haiti.
