Thie Field Museum

There is a skeleton of a dinosaur named Sue in the Field Museum. Can you tell me what type of dinosaur this is just by looking at her?

Is that my Great Grandcroc??

Kirby also got to meet some new friends at the American Girl Place in downtown Chicago.

Kirby getting settled on the plane

Hmm…I wonder how long the flight is from Raleigh to Chicago. You might have to do some digging to find this one.

Looking out of the Sears Tower

Good thing Kirby is not afraid of heights! The Sears Tower is the tallest building in the United States. Can you find out how tall it is??

Don't look down!

Wow! Looking down to the tops of buildings.

Kirby also got to go to the Lincoln Park Zoo where he saw some of his relatives!

Is that my relative under the water?

The nose of my relative!

We’ll post the rest of the pictures in another post. Stay Tuned!

I thought you would be interested to see a map of where Kirby went in Asia (click on the picture to see a larger image). Thanks to Mr. Vanterpool for taking Kirby along for the ride. Kirby tells us he had a great time!

Map of Kirby's Travels

Hi everyone. Here is the last of Kirby’s trip through Asia. Enjoy!

Here we are back in Subic Bay in the Philippines. FedEx has a cargo base here, so we come here often. It was once a U.S. military base.

After Subic Bay, we moved on to Cebu in the southern part of the Philippines. It was a one-hour flight from Subic Bay to Cebu. We stayed in the Shangri La Hotel — one of the best hotels in Cebu. Cebu is an island. Can you find how long it is from north to south?

From Cebu we moved on to China. We went to the city of Guangzhou in the southern part of China. There sure seemed to be a lot of people there. Can you find out what the population of Guangzhou is?

Our journey also took us to Singapore (hmmm…isn’t that the name of one of Sycamore’s busses??). Here are some pictures from that trip:

There is a lot of construction going on.

Night in Singapore

From Kirby:

We left Seoul, South Korea and made a short stop in Subic Bay in the Philippines. It is 1,466 miles from Seoul to Subic Bay. I am flying with a FedEx pilot, Mr. Vanterpool, and the company has a cargo facility in Subic Bay.

That same night, we flew to Bangkok, Thailand which was another 1,146 miles of flying.

Question: How many total miles did we fly that night?

Bangkok is the capital of Thailand. It is called Krung Thep Maha Nakhon in the Thai language. They call it Krung Thep for short. Bangkok beacme the capital in 1768 and is the world’s 22nd largest city by population with 15 million people.
