My Baby is so FAR away....Wrap up.

Just in case you all remember or are wondering and to "close the loop", my 17y.o. baby got home from Italy/Greece last Saturday-all was well. The group had a great trip. Not only did they do the "tourist" things, they got out on their own as well. The NC group managed to get along with the Calif and NJ groups-although i still am curious about those "cultural exchanges".
There were no sinking ferries, active volcanoes, or earthquakes (in NC or Greece), he didn't spend all his money (although he SHOULD have)-they successfully avoided being pickpocketed, etc.
It was a wonderful trip-the photos turned out GREAT-he only took 565 photos.
Here's a funny part of the story (I think since I like to laugh at myself most), the day before he left, he cut his VERY long hair which made him look about 20 years old and is a VERY dramatic difference. Anyway, we took his photo and had it on the fridge with his daily itinery so we wouldn't forget about him.
So, after 1.5 hours waiting for him to come through customs at Charlotte Airport, along comes this young man, katwrangler said "that looks like Cody-another kid on the trip", I said, "no, that's not him". I was thinking "hmmmm, that young man has the same kind of ripped up jeans Ethan wears...how about that?!" Then I realized "that young man" was my son!! We were laughing so hard when he got closer, he said "why are you guys laughing at ME?"
It was good to see him and hear about his adventures-I'm so thrilled he made the choice to go although he still has no car!!
