After a 2 week postponement, Beth started her journey to visit Boo Thursday morning.
Ted and I dropped her off at Logan for her 7:30 AM flight - original itinerary had her flying Boston to Chicago, then Chicago to Honolulu - 14 hours. Then a 14 hour layover, and a 5 hour jaunt to the Marshall Islands.
The layover would allow her to sleep in a hotel, vs. hanging at the airport (only - at most - one flight a day to Majuro)
An auspicious start however - flight from Boston late and she missed her connection. Finally made it to Honolulu - but 7 hours later . . . . 21 hours total.

Hi everybody
I'm on an excessively long and
unplanned layover in San Francisco ... was hoping to be half way to Honolulu by
now... but by Saturday I should be on a boat to Bikarej with Booey! I heard
word that she is going to try and get over to the main island with the official
councilman’s boat to meet me. I'll have some entertaining pictures I'm sure
after a week of island life. I hope to be as brave as Booey is when it comes to
food ;) I will report on how she's doing, which I'm sure is as well as it
seems in her letters... meantime I hope all's well in Michigan and
Massachusetts and New York and Connecticut and North Carolina!

Don't buy Beth's contention that she
will be brave with her food - the real brave one is Ted who will have to eat
what I make while she's away . . .
