Clear Path Group Arrives in Ho Chi Minh City

 Posted by: James Hathaway

Greetings from Ho Chi Minh City! Our group arrived safely this morning at around 11:30am local time.... our trajectory Vermont> Albany,NY>Newark, NJ> Seattle, WA> Taipei> Ho Chi MInh City... all tolled over 30 HOURS!

Chi from the Vietnam office met us at the airport and we spent the day primarily being tourists in this increasingly busy city.

Below is the whole group engaging in our first toast of the trip, which tradition dictates must be made on the rooftop of the Rex Hotel.

James & Martha,
I am glad you and your friends arrived safely in Viet Nam. I hope your trip is a fruitful one.
I hope to see you at the benefit concert in December.

Best regards,
Ray

So happy to hear from you and to know that the flight went well. We're all very anxious to hear more about the trip and to see more pictures of the area.

The dedication of your group is inspiring to all of us.

Weather here is extremely windy with very heavy rains all day. I had planned to go grocery shopping but instead I decided to just enjoy the pictures of your trip. They're fantastic and give us a great view of the countryside and all your activities. I've had a very fine day!!

James, Glad your travels have been safe. I look forward to cycling to where you are now this time next year. Yet me know who needs a Prosthetic Tech to pitch in while I am over there.
