CONCLUSION

THE CONCLUSION

Forty hours of travel, 6 airplanes, 5 airlines and we are in America.  Easy.

 

I often set on the couch with my Dad, who  joined the U.S.Army when they still had horse drawn artillery, and when he sees Korea on TV he is amazed how much they have now, as his memory is of the early ‘50’s.  I can now relate to him in terms for Vietnam.  Sadly, Burma/Myanmar is still pretty much the same with little or no progress

 

I hope you enjoyed this long adventure.  I realize that travel is not for everyone, but I encourage everyone to travel be it by organized tour, cruise ship, independent or otherwise.  Even if you just go to the next state or county.   If you can, get out of your comfort zone, be it in your town or another country.  “They” do not hate us.  Just the opposite is true, they like you.  “They” are just like you and me, just trying to make their life and the world a little better place. “They” are different, but so are you and your neighbor.  Don’t let fear win.

 

THANKS

I have to thank my old friend CWO/Monk/Capt Steve Truax for his archives.  This guy saves all kind of great stuff.  He and I went to collage together after the Army and worked in South East Asia together. He is one of the few other foreigners to see the real Burma in the ‘70’s. Through the series of mergers in the airline business we ended our careers working together again at US Airways.
