I am totally not the mom. It's funny but I am the adventurous one in our family and my kids are SO conservative.

This does raise an interesting question though- what would YOU do if you were in that position? My gut reaction was to let my child go.... but then you picture a worst case situation and you might change your mind. As long as your child is safe and in one piece, I guess you can live with him not talking to you for awhile. That's what his parents thought at the time, and I see where they're coming from.

I still don't have a trip update either. I'll have to check that out. It's such a sore topic with the parents, I can't even show an ounce of interest in the trip.
