<p>Thanks to everyone for your thoughtful advice, many things to think about - I’ll probably skip the condom question though (you did, however, hastalavista, remind me to pray today - thank you).
It would be wonderful if there was anyone flying with her from school, and while I’d be shocked if anyone was from our airport area, even on the first leg of the flight would be great. She doesn’t have a smart phone and this probably would ease my mind if I was getting messages from her while she’s traveling.
London203, I do have high hopes for revisit day! I watch my child go from “I’m 100% going!” to sheer terror at the idea of living with people she may or may not like and being so far away - depending on the hour of the day (after school she can’t wait to get there, tired at night she’s not so sure this is a great idea after all…) I’m hoping we all feel excited after the visit.
I have really enjoyed reading these boards, and think it’s great how you support one another. Thank you for lending an ear and offering your advice. It’s all very useful to us.</p>
