Sept. 27 got the plant collection separated into
two sections; one to be sent off and one to
serve as an indicator of what has been collected;
finished packing in preparation for flight to Raro
tomorrow; ran routine checks.
Sept. 28 up at 6:30 checked mice; called MATS to
check on reservations for Willie and myself; got
confirmation at 10:15 and took VP to Johnston
at 11:00; got lunch at H+N, ran errands to get
all squared away for a boarding pass; departed
Johnston via MATS C-118 at 1:25 P.M.; arrived at
Hickam at 3:45 P.M.; Willie could not get out that
night and there were no cars at the Hawaiian
King to pick us up so we caught a taxi to
the same hotel; we encountered quite a crowd of
project personnel when we reached the hotel; about
14 of us there; we got something to eat then began
a night of room parties (Judy + her two tahitian friends),
Forbidden City, and factory Volkswagen Microbus; earlier
I rented a red Ford Mustang which I threw into
reverse on numerous occasions thinking it was standard;
each time someone sprayed teeth, hair and eyes all
over the dashboard; roomed with Alan Anderson.
