I just wish they took the parents LOL as I will never experience the great wall of China, walking through the streets or the Shanghai night boat. The downside is no holiday's for us for the next two years. When I was at school, our school trips if we were lucky was to Stirling Castle or Edinburgh Castle.

What a fantastic experience you have gifted to Drew. As Osem says, I too am sure Drew will never forget such an amazing trip and it takes special parents to make such a sacrifice in order to enrich their child's life.
My parents sent me to Paris when I was just 11 and to this day I remember the feeling of awe I had when I stood on the uppermost observation platform of the Eiffel Tower looking out over all those places I had only seen in books prior to the trip. Nor will I forget the feeling of sheer terror I felt climbing back down the spiral staircase then those endless steps to ground level.
