My most memorable times include: repelling down a castle wall in Italy, staying with a family in france, ridding the Metro in Greece to some go carts we saw on our way to Athens, the Parthenon, Venice, getting stuck in the bathroom of a convent in Pompeii, climbing mount Vesuvius.

I really hope your daughter gets to go!
Make sure you tell her if she goes to keep a VERY detailed journal! We had to keep one as an assignment, and so I kind of slacked off on it. Now that I am not right in the moment I regret it because I don't have as clear memories of certain things.
She's going on the European Discovery tour and did manage to get an interview on a night when she didn't have any activities and has been accepted. She's very excited! She wants to be a journalist so I think she'll be good about keeping a journal, but I'll be sure to nudge her about it.
