Fast forward a few months to the date of departure.
I stopped by to take her to the place where the coach would pick her up to take her to the airport. We chatted for a while and made sure she had everything. Just about ready to leave, she kiddingly said, "I should go to the bathroom an throw up before I leave". Yes she still was quite nervous. Can you blame her? When was the last time she traveled any distance without someone with her; family or friends and this was to a whole different continent. Well I got her off to the bus, like I was sending one of my kids off to school for the first time. Waves and kisses from the bus and off she went.
Got a text a few hours later that she was already having a good time (only at the airport) and she should be fine with her group. Ahh they grow up so fast don't they? Haven't heard from her since, and I think that is a good thing.
Can't wait to hear the stories and see the pictures when she gets back. Wonder if she will do it again?
