That will be a cool experience for him. Is he going there as an exchange student?
My dad flew C-54s, C-124s, and C-47s from Hawaii to Japan many times. He was gone on TDY trips a lot when we were kids. My mom hatched a plan. She went with several other military wives on a boat trip cruise to Japan from Hawaii. Across the international date line. Dad played Mr. mom for the two weeks that mom was gone.
He talked often about how as mom sailed off he noticed I was looking sick. We went right from the docks, and to Tripler hospital. I had pneumonia. I spent a few days in a oxygen tent. I recovered quickly.
