They went to Japan, Vietnam and a few other places.

Well he's more excited about it than I am that's for sure. I'm sure he'll go every where he can. He's in it for the adventure. Eight kids went to Guantanamo and a lot went to Washington (which is where I was hoping he'd go) but he's the only one going to South Korea out of his class

That same thing happened to me. Out of, probably 30, I was the only one to Korea. Everyone else was Germany. I was like "wth?"

I love hearing about the different places. We always said we are going to go where ever he is at to visit - within reason of course

I'm sure he can get up to Seoul a couple or few times as well as the other places mentioned.

Thanks to all who serve and/or have family serving.

Thanks bohumn - appreciate it.

Yea Ricky and Japan isn't even the best place he can visit. I mean japan has some pretty cool places to go, but you need a landing visa to go there, they can go to Vietnam, Thailand, Philippines, Bali, Hong Kong, Cambodia, just to name a few and you don't need a Visa to go there and they are all within a few hours flight. Its' a great opportunity for them, they should be excited, not to mention the growth people experience living outside the U.S.!

I think about your plight and try to send positive energy your way. But sadly I'm broke and those delivery charges are steep...
