Hafa Adai and thank you for visiting Guam! I'm glad you had a wonderful time. It seems that when Continental joined Star Alliance back in 2009, and then eventually merged with United that there are more trip reports now on the island hopper. This is great. I have flown the entire route east and west bound, and west bound is always easier on the body. Between MAJ and HNL, the island hopper used to stop on Johnston Atoll, but that stopped in the early 2000's.
Re the partitions at GUM Airport, 9/11 was the entire reason the partitions were placed down the center of that corridor, and eventual plans are for GUM to have an upper level area that will take arriving passengers directly to U.S. Immigrations (similar to IAH and EWR).

This is a fantastic TR! Thank you for sharing your adventure. Excellent photos that really illustrate your journey.
I went back and read your previous TR of the Island Hopper that didn't go quite to plan - also a fantastic read. Where better than the middle of the Pacific to have a delay as you jog between island atolls?
Like some others have posted above me, that is a gorgeous photo of the 747.
