James is spending a few weeks in New Guinea doing collecting and research with a group of professors, mostly from BYU and BYU-Hawaii. He's been gone about 10 days and we haven't heard from him much, but we did receive these pictures in an email shortly after they arrived in Port Moresby.
It took them so long to get there. They were delayed eight hours in Fiji, making them miss all of their later flights. Later, they were delayed three hours in the Solomon Islands, which made them have to stay the night there not according to plan. Finally, they spent an extra day just killing time in Port Moresby because the usual flight to New Ireland (I believe) was cancelled.
Once they FINALLY got to their destination, the fun could really begin. He told me last week that their research station, which is housed in an old resort, is about thirty minutes from a rumbling, ash-spewing volcano. Wow. I hope they are able to do some excellent insect and marine life research to make all this traveling and effort worth it. Regardless of the bumps, New Guinea looks like an amazing place and James is fortunate beyond all get out that he gets to go on a trip like this. I'm sure he's loving every minute!
