After one month of traveling to Hawaii, Japan, and China, I finally have some pictures to share with you of my son Matthew on his Semester at Sea voyage around the world! It’s hard to believe in this day and age that it’s hard to communicate with him through cell phones and the internet. We’ve only talked to him on the cell phone three times. We’ve gotten several emails and follow his blog posts which are usually posted once or twice a week. Matthew sounds like he is thoroughly enjoying his travels. He will arrive in Viet Nam soon. Here is a voyage map and his itinerary.

* Hilo / Honolulu, Hawaii USA

Jane,
These pictures are fantastic! What a beautiful skyline pic. of China - it's fit for a post card. It looks like Matthew is having a wonderful time. He's probably not home sick at all?! Well, I know he is for some of your awesome cooking! At least he can check your blog to see some of the great things that you've been preparing! Thanks for posting these pics. I enjoyed looking at them!!!
Great photos! And he will have such fantastic memories to last his lifetime.
Wow! What a wonderful adventure!
What a fun time I'm sure he is having…wish I were there!
xoxo
p.s. your son could write a book from his adventures…that would be cool!
