Well, I am sure you are worried about the upcoming trip to Prague, but don't forget to tell her how proud you are of her that even though she was alone and scared, she managed to reunite with her friends, book herself another ticket back home and arrange overnight accommodations in Venice. It is no small feat and it is great to hear that from parents.

Bella-I had sent her an email on Sat night telling her how proud I was of her and how well she handled the situation.

On anoher note Anna received a mass email this morning from the tour coming apologizing to everyone for the mess of the tour and all the kids will be getting there money back.

debbie - I'm so glad she got safely back. The refund sounds like the tour group is making the right gestures. No doubt everyone will handle things a little differently for Prague. . .

Our young adults do grow so much under duress (don't we all?), but it is scary for us if we're watching!

So glad she is okay now

Thank you for the update. I hope she will go to Prague and other fab places while in Italy with no problems. Sometimes one loses fears and gains confidence when the worst happens and you get through it.

All is well again. How are you doing, Debbie?
