My grandparents were here in the U.S. during the turn of the century, but in early 1900’s they returned to their homeland. This is the journey my mother, sisters, and I made to join our father here in the 60’s:
I was literally a FOB back then :-). We sailed the Pacific on the Sakura Maru. An officer of the ship was assigned to dine with every family/group. I was only 7 then, but I remember thinking we had the most handsome officer at our table :-). For the first few days, the poor man had to dine with me alone, since my mother and sisters were seasick. Our Port Of Entry into the U.S. was Honolulu Hawaii. We arrived there on my birthday – what wonderful happenstance was that!
The digital graphics for this theme leaves a lot to be desired, but I really love the feeling it evokes. Here are the credits:
