John Koranda and Keith Allsup took us and our luggage to the

As usual--the
U. of Hawaii boys “forgot to get up."
Plane left on time and we were in Kwaj by 10:30.
On disem-
barking at Kwaj we were told that Johnston Is. was closed to
all plane traffic and the N.W. flight would leave direct for
Hono.
We were presented with two alternatives:
1.
Stay in Kwaj until the next plane the following Tues.
2.
Go to Hono and try and get a flight back to Johnston.
We decided to go to Hono and take our chances on getting back.
