Oh Wow! That certainly would have been a life experience for her :eek:
I hope she enjoys London, what a wonderful experience full of memories to tell her children about.

On my DD return trip she is on her own. The shuttle will drop her off but that's it. I am hoping this will be a growing experience for her, at least it was for her brother.

so true. i traveled at a very young alone. never had a problem. my family used to tell me i had an old soul.

lil'monkey, well, she is lil'monkey. smiley. friendly. doesn't always pay attention to her surroundlings. her brain runs music and lyrics through it 24/7. i can see her staning there singing "leaving on a jet plane" and missing her flight. :wink:

she is very mature in business type of settings. she has worked in our business for 2 years. does a great job. hubby says she is totally gone when certain songs come on the radio. good things the members love to listen to her sing. :p

we are thinking next year. 1 more year to get used to being in her own body and working onthe other stuff.

LOL - Holy cow! Our daughters and AMNs niece :eek: I would call that a small world ;)

My DD wanted to do the one abroad....nope! I have to remind her - Seriously, we are not made of money and, nope! we don't have a money tree :p

I, like DM, am glad to get to this late....Whew!!!!
Tie them all to the bedpost, untill they're 35, I say..:D

Happy all is well, Darlin..:hug:

She sounds a little bit like my daughter :eek:

She has moments of "oh look, something shiney" and forgets what she was doing. Up until this last year she was immuture for her age but we have seen a big difference. She has a job and works 5 days a week.

She is still a work in progress but coming along quite nicely :)

Lil monkey might benefit from an extra year of maturing before going off on a plane by herself ;)

You are just too sweet :hug: Thank you!

How's our neurotic mom doing this morning? LOL j/k

I was thinking of you this morning and imaging how I am when DDs go to visit relatives; I miss them, worry about them, and yet know that they are experiencing things they wouldn't have if they were at home. Sending you some cyber:hug:'s.

What a relief to find out she was "claimed".

Now, she will be having lots of fun and have such a great experience to add to her resume and memories.

Hopefully, we won't have to be holding our breath when she comes home and when your DS flies to Mexico.

Like I said before, great kids you have there!

The neurotic mother is much calmer today....whew! Although taking a Klonopin last night helped :p

Sassy, DS is already in Mexico and has been for 4 days. With his trip no news is good news.

I don't expect to hear from DD but again no news is good news ;). Both her dad and I will be nervous when it's time for her to come home since she has never manuvered through an airport on her own before.

It's really quiet around here. I think I need to turn up the music, call a few friends and break out the liqour :partytime2::Dancing-Chilli:

Oh, yeah, but first I need to go buy some crickets to feed to the Tarantula....eeeewww.

I have one very bright and mature daughter, who's traveled a lot, but couldn't find her way out of a wet paper bag. :eek:

My youngest is a complete airhead, but you could throw her in the middle of New York and she'd find her way home. The only problem is that she might follow a stray animal instead . . .

I know how scary it is to let them go, and I still wouldn't let my eldest go on her own to some places. My kids are NOT particulary street-wise, especially with some of the things that can happen in neighboring suburbs, or in some of the large US cities. My daughter and her two friends wanted to make a trip to the Florida Keys this summer (one friend's parents have a second house there), but I stopped that. They haven't a clue about what to watch for, avoiding bad areas, etc.

I have traveled a lot, but would NEVER go to LA, Atlanta, or some other places on my own. That's scary stuff!! :eek:, but mostly only because I am too trusting.

Glad she's safe and sound.
