Just one change is not enough, but i guess i would start with airport reception. The scene at the airport arrival is pityful and dangerous right now.

Hi. I'm headed to Haiti in a few weeks. What are some key sentences that I should know?

Basic intro such as:
hello, what's you name, where is the bathroom, what is this, etc...
Depending on the purpose of your trip, you might want to concentrate on learning specific words and phrases that'll help you to communicate in that area. If it's a one-time trip, you might think about getting an interpreter. If not, then you got a new language to learn. Have a great trip.

Where and/or what is the "country with no hat"?

"Country with no hat"  is an expression.
It means "dead".
It shouldn't be translated literally in English.

Country with no hat - Peyi san chapo
Joe has gone to peyi san chapo means Joe's dead.
