Made it in just fine. Some of the Radio Response folks even had a truck waiting for me to use, filled with mesh networking gear. It even has a mesh node and a VOIP phone built-in. I'll take some pictures tomorrow and write about it. It's over-the-top cool.
Tonight I'm going to take stock of the situation and get some gear prepped. I was posting mostly to inquire about a place to get dog kennels in the area. I'm going to start asking around, because I'd like to deliver a few to the lady in Algiers who is taking care of all the strays (presuming that she still needs them; I will be checking with her). If you happen to know anyone in the NOLA area who sells such a thing, please let me know. I can probably arrange a truck to pick them up, even.
I hope to blog a lot more on this trip, as I'm setting more of my own agenda and should have more time to document what I'm doing. Plus, last time I thought Jake blogged enough for everyone to get an idea of what was going on.
