Mom's coming. Maybe brother as well. Please suggest things we can do.

So far I got:

-DMZ (obviously)
-War Museum (Grandpa was in the war when mom was a kid)
-Myeung-dong (just to see all the people shopping - might even show them their first Japanese person!)
-Gyeong book gong Palace (this was my favorite place when I first got here.)
-Seoul Tower
-Temple Stay (was considering this for one night or two.)
-National Museum (2nd best in Asia IMO, Taipei comes in first.)

They'll be here maybe 2 weeks, so I don't think I'm cramming too much stuff in. A lot of these we could do 2 the same day since they're close.


One option though, my bro is not fond of long flights and a round trip from from Atlanta and back might be a touch outside of their budgets. We bounced around the idea of meeting halfway somewhere. They said Hawaii, but I really would like them to go to at least one foreign country in their life. Any suggestions on that end? I thought maybe Europe, but that's kind of far from here.

Just tossing this out there, a flight from Atlanta to Hawaii is still, at minimum, about ten hours. Also, because Hawaii is a major tourist place, but they don't have a huge airport, it's a premium price to fly there. So, price-wise, you're probably better off flying ATL to ICN, and time-wise, if you compare the best times, it's about a 4 hour difference, but in reality, probably about a 2-3 hour difference. Either way, the price and time will be very similar.
