One of the best parts about this, and why we will continue to do it, is because with each trip our kids walk away with new friends. Bonds form quickly when you've got to deal with touring boring historic sites in the blistering heat and long bus rides on windy roads together. Now they have friends spread throughout the world that they'd have never had the privilege of knowing before. And that is something special too.
