En Route, Part 2


In the LA airport, I met the other members of the Pohnpei group. There are 13 of us traveling together, some of whom introduce themselves in the video above. We met in the Daily Grill and shared a small lunch (i.e. water) with a returned volunteer from the Marshall Islands.

The flight to Hawaii was uneventful - I took some more sleeping pills and passed out for the whole trip. I remember the meal they served me only as a warm thing occupying my tray table which forced me to sleep sitting up. I think they gave me an apple juice at some point, and half of it ended up spilled on my jeans.

Fortunately, the flight out of Hawaii was delayed 10.5 hours, so we all had time to stroll around Honolulu and Waikiki beach today. A very pleasant surprise, except that now we won't get into Pohnpei until after midnight their time. Anyway, the trek continues....
