We will be watching this thread. I know yall are going for the India trip mainly but please post pictures of the other ventures of the trip also :)

Forgot to add.. so that everyone doesnt think I just send my kids off without me lol... she is going as she has been selected for the Student Ambassador Program
When I was 17 I spent 5 weeks in Europe with an educational group (mostly college students). It was an amazing experience that changed my life. I am so happy for your daughter. I think she is going to have a great experience she will treasure for a lifetime.

I thought it is warmer there - like no or little snow. Of course cold and wet is miserable too.

That sounds very similar to what Student Ambassadors is. She will be there 2 1/2 weeks though. The longer trips arent until high school. She is just barely 13 now (DUH I put 12 she would kill me she just had a bday!)

Everyone who has ever been with this group including our former pastors daughter have all said the same that it is indeed something she will remember and treasure forever!

She plans on going on the trip to Australia the following summer.

The British Museum takes days to do if you want to see most of it (you can't see it all, impossible). But there are tours that hit the grand highlights.

The "Eye" is supposed to be a great ride and a great way to see the city.

You mentioned Westminster Abbey. We owe a lot to many of the bones encased there.

One thing that I would like to do some day is to follow the Thames upriver to the Isis and the springs that are its source. There's a lot of old Roman sites in the area that have been neglected all this time.

Hey dont worry until I was 13 I had never been anywhere other than Mexico. We went with our church on a choir trip. Other than that I was 14 before I ever left the country again.

I tried to work it out for a short stay on the return leg in Rome, but I think once we are done, it would be to much, I wanted to try and maximize this trip. But the cost and wear and tear on us might be to much.

Sounds like a fortunate girl! She will have a wonderful time... "Investing" in experiences is generally very rewarding.
