THE FIVE-ISLAND TOUR [Because of the confusion with time zones and the international date line, I am not putting dates on the pages. --ad] Neal writes: The Island hopper started out on Monday morning, crossed the dateline and became Tuesday with a time change tossed in for good measure

Intrepid travelers get back on plane . . . We had breakfast . . . . . . and lunch . . . . . . No, we haven't crashed! That ain't Chuuk . . . Majuro is one of the Marshall Islands (I didn't know this until the stewardess on the plane told me) . . . this is Kosrae, in the rain . . . In between Majuro and Kosrae was a stop at Kwajaline; no photos allowed, as it is a military garrison. That's not Chuuk either . . . We had 40-minute layovers to change luggage and passengers. We were able to deplane, but had to take all our carry-ons with us. We could leave the large bags in an open cart at the end of the stairs (no jetways on these type of flights).

FINALLY, CHUUK & THE ODYSSEY!
