[quote=Anonymous]At 14, I was a freshman in boarding school. I met my parents in NYC for Thanksgiving. Since their flight got in later than mine and I had a credit card on their account I checked in before they arrived. I'm glad that I did because their flight was cancelled for weather and I stayed alone in the room until they arrived the next day. I flew alone to Paris to spend springbreak with a friend's family. At 15, I went on the school trip to the Soviet Union. If it had been offered the year before, I would have gone when I was 14. I had traveled a lot with my family before I was 14 so none of this was new or scary.

This all was very normal for the kids that I knew. The kids of foreign service professionals were even more used to traveling all over the world at young ages. On the other hand, I know many now that have never even traveled out of the country and find this shocking. My SIL has only traveled out of her state about five times in her life and never left the continental US. [/quote]
