Seems her friend can only get 2 weeks off work so daughter will now do 2 weeks with friend and up to an additional 4 weeks solo.
I remember when i was her age doing a 3 year trek around N.America,It never occurred to me how or if Mom and Dad were ever worried about me,,now i'm the Dad and its hard to be that removed from her life,i think worrying comes with parenthood..
