Wanda Whiston Hi Emily! Sounds like you are having a great time so far, so glad to hear it. The pictures you have posted so far have been amazing! Many of us may never get the chance to visit Switzerland so in your Mom's words "we can see it through your eyes". :) Good luck with school, I know you will do just fine. Take care Emily and have fun, looking forward to more of those amazing photos! ~Wanda :)

carey boylen you can buy adapters to plug into your straightener and into the wall there, i have one here, i wish i had thought of it because we could have gave it to you, i only used it when i went to ireland. but it might save you buying a new straightner if you can find one of those :)

dawn You're on your way Emily. Nothing but great experiences ahead. Travelling will get into your system and you'll want to be going some where different all the time. All the best to you!!!!

mom Hoping your next flight is better than your first. Next time you step outside you will be in Europe.. something you've always dreamed of.. WOW!! Sending lots of love your way... keep us posted!! xoxo
