And I do appreciate your feedback! I've priced other escorted European tours and it really doesn't seem any more expensive than those if the price includes airfare. Besides, if I took her on a tour, then I'd have to pay for two people (although I'd love to go to Europe) and take 3 weeks off work (and I have 3 hours of time off in my bank at the moment). The itinerary for her trip says that they stay with a family for 3 days in Salzburg. She will LOVE going there, especially if she gets to see where they filmed some of the Sound of Music.
I'm not worried about her getting into a prep school (can't afford one) or college. She's doing a great job of keeping herself qualified to do whatever she wants to do. My biggest worry is that she might eat a peanut product in a foreign country.
I didn't think her dad would go for the idea of her going abroad for 3 weeks, but he said it sounded like a great opportunity (as long as he didn't have to pay for any of it), so he's on board with the idea. The info meeting is tomorrow so I'll have a better sense then. It will also partially depend on how soon they will need money because I don't know how long it will be before my mother's estate is liquidated. So, we'll see. If she doesn't do this, then she'll be going to Interlochen for their creative writing program instead. That's $3400 for 3 weeks and is only in Michigan. I guess that's why $5000 for a 3 week/17 city European tour sounds reasonably priced to me!
