T (age 14) is traveling with the student ambassador program through People to People this summer. He will spend nineteen days in England, Scotland, Ireland, and Wales. While he is there, he will meet with a member of Parliament, explore the Tower of London, view the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace, ride on the London Eye, spend three days with a family in England, explore castles, receive a lesson from a golfer at St. Andrews, search for the Loch Ness Monster, learn about Gaelic football and Hurling, train as a soldier in a recreated medieval encampment, abseil 70 feet off a tower wall at Penrhyn Castle, complete service projects, and more! It is an amazing opportunity for T, and I am so happy that he was selected for this experience.
I am hoping that he takes a lot of pictures, and if he does, I will share some of them here. Mostly, I just hope he stays safe, has a wonderful time, remembers to brush his teeth, and doesn't lose anything.

That sounds like a busy 19 days! What fun for him!
What a super opportunity!
What an amazing experience! Is it something his school participates in?
Oh my goodness...Wow! Your a good mom...I am nervous for my kids to reach that age. I will keep him in my prayers...as long as he comes home safe...that will be an excellent experience...and memory.
Honestly...I hope my kids get opportunities like this..and that I will be brave! =)
That is very exciting! I really wish I could have done something like that, maybe one day my children will!
Make sure to pack him lots of extra underwear :)
Did I mention before how jealous I am of his trip? Insanely jealous!
It sounds like a great trip. I hope I can learn to let go as my kids get older to allow them these opportunities. It has to be hard.
