In remembering it all, I realize how much like a mission we treated this trip. Only letters, a couple of phone calls the entire year, and no emails. . .I'm glad you can find out now what I was too young to think of sharing then.<BR/><BR/>Caro~ You're welcome! Interesting that you grew up in Belgium.<BR/><BR/>Cliffhanger Rick~ Rich. That's rich. I'm glad you're into the story so far. It should get better.<BR/><BR/>Cele~ thanks! I hope you feel like you are on an exchange yourself while you read my memories.<BR/><BR/>Sideon~ no moping! Just start planning your own trip to Europe.<BR/><BR/>Chanson~ it was a good experience in my life, one of the best. I highly recommend foreign exchange to help kids broaden their minds.<BR/><BR/>SS~ I'm glad you're enjoying my story. <BR/><BR/>Wry~ it's true. That luggage thing only happens in movies now.
