He's already been to Switzerland and France, and will head off to Romania at spring break. As he says, Ryanair rocks! Good luck to your daughter!
Glad to hear he loves it. I expect the weather is a bit less of a shock to his system than it would be to my daughter. I'm excited to see where she ends up.
PS I love FT. People we know here look at us like we are insane if we mention the UK for college, on FT everyone is so supportive and thinks its a great option.
