"We" as in "the kids and parents." The collective we.

They have independently chosen their travel route and hotels. We (parents) have reviewed their proposal for feasibility. We have also reviewed their proposed flights to make sure they make sense.

In that case, sure. Not sure why you need to crowdsource this on DCUM. SE Asia is pretty safe. Just make sure they stay far far away from any illegal drug activities, as the penalties are severe.
