  1. forget homesickness. go& have a good time sister girl.


  2. A 14 yr old who has a chance to see other cultures and lifestyles in the company of a family member is fortunate.Dont miss the chance to explore different places while your young.You may decide on a future located in one of your visits. Go for it and enjoy all the thrills of traveling while your mind is still developing and maturing. Have a great time and try all diff. cusines(foods)

  3. Go!  You can always call or write or e-mail if you miss your family.  How many times will you have a chance like this again?  

  4. Do you want to go?If you want to go then go, if not then don't,  you have a great opportunity there, when I was 14, I didn't have that opportunity, but if I had I would have gone, I'd go now if I could but I don't have the opportunity, and might never get it before I die,it's an interesting experience you have the opportunity for there, you say you don't know, well, what is making you not sure if you don't want to go then why did you ask to go? It is faaar away, that's true, but it's so very different, you wouldn't just be going to the shods every day, there would be plenty to do, and plenty to see, I guess you might find it hard to understand the lingo, but you'd learn faster than you might think. It's your decision, but you have to be prepared to stick it out, your grandma isn't gonna stop in her tracks if you decide after a day or 2 you wanna go home. Can you accept that? If you can then go, if you can't then stay home and let your grandma go  on her own,and enjoy her trip, you don't want to spoil it for her do you? The thing is it doesn't matter what anyone else would or wouldn't do, the question is do you want to go and take whatyever comes with going if not then don't go but if you can accept whatever comes with it, and can take a chance then go. But you have to make your mind up and stick to it,  only you can decide based on what YOU  want to do, we are all diffferent and no-one can decide for you, you have to grow up some time and decide for yourself what you want.

  5. When I was 14, I had a very similar opportunity to travel from my home in Canada to China for an exchange. I was very nervous at first, but once I got there, there was so much to learn, so much to do, and so much to see, that I didn't have time to be homesick! I remember only wanting to go home to tell everyone what i was experiencing, and then I wanted to go right back! It was absolutely one of the best experiences of my life, and I would give almost anything to go back. Trust me, you won't regret traveling like this! There's nothing like seeing more of the world we live in!  

  6. Dear M,

    There comes a time in every young person's life when they have to ask themselves the same question that you are asking.  And all I can share with you is this story.....and you tell me if it was worth it.

    When I was 22, living in America with my grandparents, I was asked to make a 4 month trip by automobile from Atlantic City, New Jersey to Anchorage. Alaska.  All I had to do was drive the car.

    There were 6 people including myself who were supposed to make the trip.  And after I agreed (after all I was a single young man with no job), the six of us headed out in May to explore the American Country from coast to coast....and hopefully make a little profit along the way...until we finished the journey in August.

    What I remember from the trip, other than the car had no air conditioner, was that all along the way I was surprised by the hospitality of the American people.  No matter where we roomed up, camped, or fell asleep along the side of the road, everyone we met, had a story to tell.  In one town called, Spokane, a woman and her daughters took us in over night because we were being eaten alive by mosquitoes.

    In another town called, Haines Junction,Alaska, we had to camp out for two weeks until I could wire money from my father.  Luckily, I brought my trusty fishing pole and some lures.  So for two weeks solid, I had to catch fish to feed these 5 travelers, and myself. Luckily, the salmon were running up stream and we had lots of fish to eat.  Unfortunately, I ate so much salmon that today, nearly 25 years later, the smell of the fish makes me sick.

    As a matter of fact, I had such an experience that there are portions of the story that constantly make their way into conversations with my wife, and my son.  This time in my life was such an experience I cannot help but share it, because as I said, I'm still affected in some aspects every day.

    The other thing is that the trip nurtured my faith in humanity.  Even at my ripe old age of 45, I still remember the spirit of adventure that everyone I met admired in me.  Most people I met, never went past their own 5 mile radius.  But me....I've seen America.  I've seen Bald Eagles fishing for salmon.  I've seen white water rapids of the Snake River in Idaho.  I've seen the endless miles of wheat fields of Iowa.  I've felt the sweet love of a young woman in the mist of the Mississippi Delta under a full moon.  I've seen grizzly bears, and I've seen desert.  I remember the feeling of complete vulnerability...with the knowledge in that desert, that one wrong move would literally mean I could die were I stood.  I've met prostitutes, bartenders, nurses, doctors, lawyers, bikers, and young women all along the way.  I've seen America.  And I know her spirit well because I've played in her expanses.

    Now, could you imagine what my life would be like if I didn't make that trip?

    What I'm saying is this, M:  No matter how sick you'll feel by missing home, it will never outweigh the adventure that you'll experience by leaving her.  You'll have stories for the rest of your life.  You'll have lived just a little more that most people.

    These opportunities have only come around once in my life time.  I pray that you'll see the wisdom in taking the chance.  Besides, you'll never find home more warm and nostalgic than the day you come home to her and kiss the earth.

    Travel while you are young.   Travel before you are encumbered with college and children.   And you will always have that piece of yourself you can share with your family.  A sense of wonder is a a powerful and life changing spirit. To this day, I still feel that I can accomplish anything that I wish, if I apply myself.  

    Life is meant to be lived.  And at my ripe old age, I know that I have no regrets.  Shouldn't you?

    Your friend....

    Russ
