Rob and April head to Asia

Hi Folks, this is my first entry into our blog site! Daughter April and I leave Augusts 7th for Thailand, Cambodia, China, Italy, France, England, then back to California and Hawaii. April will be staying in London to attend University for her Junior year "semester abroad". I will arrive back in Hawaii September 30th.
We will first spend a few days in Thailand where we will meet brother John, who is the chief editor for two news bureaus in Bangkok, then fly to Phnom Penh where we will spend nine days with Phaly and all the kids! This should be the highlight of the trip and is much anticipated by all of us!
We have some great activities planned for all of the kids and I look forward to spending time with each of them. I will try to keep the blog posted with the highlights of our visit.
From Cambodia we will go to China to visit son Henry in the city of Chengdu in Sichuan, do a bit of traveling and hanging out with him and get his views on what it is like teaching English and studying Chinese there. We then go back to Thailand for about a week, then fly to Rome, take the train to some small towns on the way to Paris, fly to London and home.
Any recomendations for any of these spots by you would be great!
More later! Aloha, Rob
