This is just what I am thinking. The flight back to Hawaii had to stop at London. Perhaps Barack Sr went from there to Hawaii via New York and LA. Stanley Ann went to Seattle via New York and Vancouver B.C. I think Barack Sr’s father might have had that kind of money. Also, the Dunham’s might have paid too. It seems like a huge undertaking to get the Obama patriarch’s blessing. However, there may have been bigger consequences if it had not been done.
