"A 3 Hour Tour" Update

"NEW ORLEANS — A dozen people, including four high-profile Louisiana couples, have been shuttled off the atoll where their chartered plane's engine problems stranded them, and were spending a night on nearby Christmas Island.

A chartered jet was to fly all 12 to Honolulu on Friday, said Grady Timmons, Honolulu spokesman for The Nature Conservancy, which had arranged the trip to Palmyra Atoll, which the conservancy manages as a wildlife reserve."
