Perhaps I should change the name of this blog, now that I am on my own and no longer 'travelling with teen'.... but somehow even without her around physically - as a mother, I am always 'travelling with teen'.
My mom came down for a short visit last week and Aaste returned to Mexico with her. She will have a fun vacation in Puerto Vallarta with her cousins for a week, and then will fly back to Toronto to spend the next couple of months with her Dad.
Yes, we are still talking to one another. I hope Aaste will look back on these months that we have spent in other countries as the fantastic experience that everyone else thinks it has been for her. Right now, she is dying to get back to Canada and her familiar environment. She liked living in San Juan better than many of the places we visited, and she learned an amazing amount of Spanish... but she is very very excited to be going home soon.
I will miss her..... in a few weeks....right now I am reveling in my alone time! It's been a while!
This blog chronicles a 10 month period of travel that I took with my 13 year old daughter in 2007/08.
