DAY 22, LEG 91 - Majuro to Kwajalein
The next leg fulfils one of the goals of the tour. I set out to explore regions of the world that are not normally visited on other world tours, and take in some of the novel routes served by the international airlines. The next three legs to Kwajalein, Kosrae, and Pohnpei replicate the service flown by Continental Micronesia on their Pacific "Island Hopper" flight. The flight, using a B737-800, originates in Honolulu, Hawaii, and flies to Guam via Majuro, Kwajalein, Kosrae, Pohnpei, and Chuuk. The tour will take in the first four stops before continuing south to Papua New Guinea. As flown on Continental Micronesia, the "Island Hopper" takes 14 hours!
