I allowed my daughter to take a road trip from MS TO MN during Christmas break her sophomore year of college with her best friend. I was a nervous wreck the entire time but it was in her friends car and not funded by me. They were also 20 though and had more life experience. She did lie to me and tell me her boyfriend was going too because I told her 2 girls alone was not happening. I didn’t find out until they got to MN that it was just the 2 of them. But both sets of grandparents live there and many other relatives and thankfully everything turned out fine. That was 3 years ago. She has since gone to TX AK NC IL and now lives in southern FL. She is 23 and my little gypsy as we lovingly refer to her. At 18 I would have said not just no but hell no. I have an 18 year old daughter now and there is absolutely no way. But thankfully she has no desire to do stuff like that. When I suggested a cruise after graduation for her and some friends she asked if her daddy and I could go too because it was too scary to go alone. When you have 4 kids I guess you are bound to get many different personalities.
