Getting ready for Nicaragua

It's Sunday and I leave tomorrow for  my 3rd Nicaraguan trip.  First trip was to Kukra Hill  (spring, 2016) to install our first water filtration system.  Second trip was to Pearle Lagoon (2017) to speak at the operators conference for all the Living Waters for the World personel in Eastern Nicaragua.  We also visited Kukra Hill for a follow-up and visited Pueblo Nuevo and Orinoco searching for our second installation site. 
We decided to install the system in Orinoco and we leave tomorrow (January 15, 2018). 

We will fly to Houston from DFW and from Houston we fly to Managua, Nicaragua.  Previously we've flown from Managua east to our destination on La Costena airlines, but this time, since we're taking all the system parts with us, we're driving across the country in a rented van with room for all our stuff.  This part of the trip is scheduled to take 8 hours, because of less than stellar roads, to Pearle Lagoon.  The next day (Wed) we'll take a chartered panga (river taxi) to Orinoco to get set up. 

When I return in 8 days  I'll begin posting info about this installation and our other adventures.  Our trip home will be accomplished (hopefully) in one day since we'll be traveling much lighter.
