I admit that there are only 4 days left till Oldest leaves for Great Britain, and I am so very, very nervous. It is not the first time he travels abroad without us, in fact, when he gets back he will be of to the south of France (again) 3 days later. But this trip will demand a huge amount of self dependence from him. Aside from lessons in the morning and assembly after lunch there is nothing mandatory, much entertainment is offered, as well as meals on campus, but they can decide by themselves what they are actually going to do with their time. They have to make sure they get out of bed and to breakfast on time, make sure they get to lunch and dinner, can leave campus till 22:00 in groups of at least 3 children, can take a bus to the beach, go to the movies, manage their money and ATM cards, maybe do a load of laundry ... He is a great kid, and I am sure he will be just fine, but this tiny voice inside my head keeps coming up with what ifs.
