Carol goes to Thailand!

 

Gallery 2:  Up, up, and Away!

 

Oh, the emotions. As I write this, Carol is somewhere between Detroit and Tokyo. Anne, Sarah, & I took her to O'Hare this morning to meet up with two other exchange students from this area who are also going to Thailand. They flew off together to Detroit, where they join up with more outbounds, then fly from Detroit direct to Tokyo. They're supposed to have a two and a half hour layover in Tokyo, then fly on to Bangkok arriving at 11:40 pm their time (which is 11:40 am our time!).

Anne and I are of course somewhat nervous (we managed to hold back the tears, though), but we have a lot of faith and trust in Carol and her ability to make good decisions. We're very proud of her courage in going outside her comfort zone, and are sure this will be an outstanding experience for her. One she'll talk about forever. And ever. And ever.
