Pray for the good citizens of Europe
My two oldest sons, ages 18 and 19, along with two of their friends began the trip of a lifetime yesterday.
They are spending a month in Europe, backpacking thru different countries.
They flew into Dublin yesterday, taking a 12 hour ferry ride to London, then to Paris, Rome, Barcelona, Prague, Copenhagen, and finally Amsterdam, with a few assorted stops along the way.
One of the boys' grandfather is an international traveler, and prepared a very detailed itenerary for them, along with hostel reservations, etc.
So, pray for my boys, and the good citizens of Europe, but especially for their mother!

Oh, you are so fortunate to have everything planned out and reservation included! When my daughter went to college in Austria the year before last she and a friend spent a month solid travelling around Europe. (She had gone on many weekend visits to Munich, Prague, Budapest, Venice, and a week in Croatia but this was one whole month away from her college in Salzburg) I didn't find out until afterwards that they found this thing online about staying at people's homes for free! Usually they stayed in hostels but they took the opportunity twice to use this service (I can't remember the name of the service but it has the word, couch, in it's title). In Amersterdam they stayed at a teacher's house for a couple of nights and slept in the spare room! And then the second time was in Copenhagen where they were allowed to sleep in a spare dorm room (the owner of the dorm room was in Spain studying away for a month)!!!! OH MY GOODNESS!!! You would not believe how upset I was with her for doing that! Two young American girls in the home of a complete stranger!!!! I'm glad I prayed for them everyday and thankful that God had mercy on me and them! LOL Young people are naive and foolish, aren't they?

I think it's a great opportunity, as does my wife, but she tends to still view them as her babies, lol.
But, I'm excited for them, and a tad bit jealous!

Re: Pray for the good citizens of Europe
They are still her babies. It's a Mom thing. Praying, and hoping they have a lot of fun, but also learn a lot about other countries. They will be worn out though from what I gather about tours over there.

Re: Pray for the good citizens of Europe
My daughter said staying in hostels is not as luxurious as staying at hotels BUT you meet young people from all over the world in hostels and learn of cheap places to eat which makes the stay more interesting. I guess staying in a hostel isn't too much different than living in a college dorm.
