A tale of a Dad visiting the USA

Activities/Actions:

Thirty days of Dad visit me in the States. We have been traveling from Midwest to East Coast up to Maine and down to New York City and where else in between.

Note and reflections:

Living a long way from home, I had the first time visit from my family in Thailand. Dad have made his way a half of the globe to celebrate my accomplishment and traveling around in the States. I believe that he is not traveling for himself but for everyone in my family. This may likely be his only time to the USA, so I must show him what I have experienced and introduce him to my good friend and family here.
