We are considering signing our high schooler up for a 9 day European tour for Spring Break of 2016.....Paris, Munich, etc. It's not actually through her school, but one of the teachers from the school is arranging it, so we're also considering my wife joining her; kinda like a Mom / Daughter trip.
Has anyone ever sent their child, or anyone else, on one of these? If so, what was your experience like?
What's everyone's take on the current situation abroad with Americans / Christians being targets for terrorists? Would you send someone on a trip like this? Too risky? I tend to stay current and read a lot of news, and I was all gung ho about it, figuring it would be a neat experience for both of them, up until yesterday. My spidey senses all of a sudden went on alert and now I'm starting to reconsider.
A nephew of mine went on one about a year ago, and it was fine, but I think things were slightly different then, than they are at the moment. Am I psyching myself out by all the reading I do? Being paranoid? Just wondering what other people's thoughts are. 4951
