A quick update from Betsy Jensen:

So far so good!  I’m writing this from somewhere over Russia, halfway to Tokyo. We are fortunate to have an empty plane. Most of us have open seats around us.  A special treat on a 13+ hour flight.  After Tokyo, a little 5.5 hour hop to Hanoi.  I hope the hotel has comfortable beds because we will need a good night’s sleep.
