Study Abroad- Nicaragua

Parents Forum

<p>I have not posted here in a long time. My daughter graduated in 2009 and she settled into college life at Macalester and I settled into my empty nest :)</p>

<p>Today we start a new experience. I put her on a plane in a few hours for her trip to study in Nicaragua. She will be there until the end of December.</p>

<p>She spent the summer getting ready, travel doctor, prescriptions, mosquito netting, iodine tablets, home stay gifts etc.</p>

<p>We are both excited but yet nervous. She flies from Mpls to Houston and then to Nicaragua. I will be anxiously awaiting some kind of confirmation that she has landed and is safely in the hands of her homestay family with ALL of her supplies. </p>

<p>Wish me luck and any advice on not worrying would be fantastic lol</p>

<p>My DD spent a month in South America this summer and had the time of her life, despite an unscheduled trip extension due to a volcanic ash cloud closing the airport. Skype is a wonderful thing. Very reassuring to be able to see her as well as talk for free.</p>

<p>Your DD will love it. Best of luck.</p>
