Well after reading your post of worries, now I'm the one that is worried! My DS (11) has been away traveling around visiting people so far all summer, and he gets back from Colorado on Saturday then goes to MA with his friend and his friends parents for 3 weeks. Yes, it's scary having to "trust" someone else to care for your children, and my DS has been an unaccompanied minor so far on all of his travels, that, I think is the hardest.
Next year he will be going to England also, to stay with my sister and my mother who live there - another unaccompanied minors trip - I'm scared. But, you're right. The nest is about to be empty in the near future - too close for my comfort I tell you that much.

Yes, do, but don't tell her I sent you! LOL She's only in London for a couple of days, then it's off to Birmingham, then up to Glasgow, then Edinburgh, a few stops in Wales, then off to Ireland, then back to England for a homestay in Andover. I know they have a codeword to tell their leaders if something about the homestay makes them uncomfortable, so I guess I shouldn't worry.
They are doing *everything* you can think of that tourists would do, as well as a few other things. They get to meet an MP on Friday. The castle wall thing is in Scotland, I believe.
In between bouts of total panic, I'm really envious!
