Howdy fellas!

My son has been selected by People to People Ambassador program to go to Australia this summer. wow. He's really excited and I think this will help bring him out of his shell. He will benefit greatly from this and I can't believe he wants to do it. He is always overshadowed by his twin sister so he has laid claim to this as his, and his alone.

He will learn about the Australian government, stay with a working farm, called a station for 3 days, backstage tour of the Sydney opera house, snorkel the great barrier reaf, scale a cliff, learn about dolphin research, hold alligators, as well as many other things for 17 days.

We are starting to plan many fundraisers, this is gonna hurt pops a little. But I see this as a short term financial stab for a long term gain for him.

Sounds cool. Wouldn't mind doing that myself (well except the part about scaling a cliff. This OLD man prefers staying down lower.). How old is he, high school? College? Either way sounds WAY cool to be doing it that young. Congrats to him!!

Thanks brother. I'll tell him you said congrats.

He's actually 7th grade. Amazing to me he wants to do this at his age. He's kinda shy and timid so this will be great for him. They have 3 program divisions for students, elementary, middle and high school. It looks to be a very safe and proven organization.

Sounds like a great time, He will enjoy going down under, in all the places in the world Australia would be worth a return trip. Congrats on his being selected for the program, and don't forget it will be their winter.

Thanks fellas, I'll pass the congrats on to him.

Yea, we knew it was their winter. I just want to know if the toilets flush the opposite way on the other side of the equator.

That's something he'll remember for the rest of his life. The toilet thing that is.
