She made it!

I just received this e-mail from World Teach letting me know Beth met up with Boo in Majuro, and made it to Boo's Island of Bikarej!

I know how excited Beth was to see her Boo!

Hello,

I just wanted to let you know that Beth has arrived safely in Majuro.  Boo came into Majuro and we all met her at the airport.  They left for Bikarej, Arno and are doing well.  I will be talking to them over the radio on Monday and Wednesday and will update you if anything changes.  Talk to you soon.

Thanks,

Ken

Beth made it to Majuro - I think ;-)

After long hours of delays (and uncertainties of whether a plane would actually make it from Honolulu to Majuro),  I think Beth is there!

Instead of the original 5:30 AM flight, due to equipment delays, Beth finally left on her last leg to Majuro at 8:00 PMish.  I checked the airline website, and the flight did arrive in Majuro - 11 hours late at 7:30 PM Saturday (which was 2:30 AM in Boston) -  a total of 43 hours gate to gate if my math is correct.  Being a glass half full guy, the way I look at it, we are getting a better deal on the airfare - the average $ per travel time has gone WAY down . . . .

I'm guessing that Boo met Beth in Majuro, and hopefully they'll catch a boat Sunday to Bikarej!
