   Is she travelling solo? Wow! We’re having conversations here about sending/not sending my twelve y/o son alone to the Netherlands…

    I hope she has a great trip. I just put my 14-year-old son on a plane ALONE this morning and I am a nervous wreck…he is meeting up with his group in Atlanta.

    Bon voyage, BOSSY Daughter, and call your mother often. We need her to stay firmly on the rails! (as much as that is possible)

    I wish I had been able to travel like that as a kid. You manage to give your children the best experiences.
