Fond Memories

I was recently flying into Los Angeles when I ran into a big group of high school-age kids wearing polo shirts that read "People to People Student Ambassador." I asked one of them where they were traveling to.

"Australia," he answered.

About 15 years ago, I traveled with People to People to Australia myself. (Back then, the trip included New Zealand as well. The young gentleman I spoke with informed me that they were going to Australia only.) I consider myself fairly well traveled, but that trip was an early highlight. I vividly remember the wildlife, the people I met, and the amazing things we got to see.

"You're going to have an incredible time," I told my fellow traveler.
