Currently thankful for….
Four perfectly working engines, two structurally sounds wings, and a trustworthy flight crew
Two enthusiastic chaperones and a lot of families who worked all year to send this group of kids off on a grand adventure
A daughter who’s willing to venture a few thousand miles out of her comfort zone
Digital devices that let us track a transatlantic flight in the middle of the night from the comfort of our beds
A big ol’ planet dotted with amazing things, people, food, art, architecture, and cheese that sometimes you just have to go see for yourself

Promise: If I get huffy about silly teenaged tourist groups next week in Paris, I’ll think of her (and you) and refrain from hitting anyone. 😉
lol! I’m willing to bet that she will not be one of the annoying ones (though I can’t vouch for everyone in the group)!
What a great opportunity!! Can’t wait to hear about it.
