I'm driving from Amsterdam to Munich, and wanting to spread the journey out a wee bit. Can anyone recommend any places of interest along the way, nice towns, pretty countryside, etc?
Cheers
Answer
I was in Munich a couple of years back and I loved it. You definitely have to check out Crazy King Ludwig's castles because one of them was the inspiration for the "Sleeping Beauty" castle. The Hofbrauhaus is a very famous beer hall in Munich that should be interesting. You might also want to check out Dachau concentration camp.

I live in WI and next summer when I am 14 I want to go to IGC ( international gymnastics camp ) for 2 weeks which is in PA I know it is dangerous to travel alone but I will still be young enough to fly unaccompanied minor and they will be able to walk me to my gate and wait with me until I board ahead of the rest of the passengers and disembark the plane before anybody else to when I leave the plane I will be met by a Representative from the camp who will show papers to the flight attendant to prove that I am not being abducted by him then we will go to baggage to pick up my bag then we drive to camp in the camp van and when it is time for me to go home they will drive me to the airport to meet my plane and my grandparents can meet me by the gate to pick me up I am also saving up money to go to this camp to help pay for it I am very responsible and want the opportunity to go to this camp very badly I feel that at this age I should be able to go to the camp if proper precautions are taken I have also done alot of Research to find this all out and I also travel alot so I know how to handle myself I am a great student and have been on the honor role for two years and I am on student council please help to prove that I should be allowed to go to this camp

KK,
I think it's a wonderful idea for you to go away to camp! My daughter went away to camp from the time she was about 8 or so. It's a wonderful experience and besides honing your gymnastic skills, you'll make new friends and memories that last a lifetime.
It sounds like your pretty good at research. Get some facts on the camp. Like how long they've been in business, their ratings, safety guidelines and medical staff, and make sure they're accredited, etc. Maybe that will help sway them.
Or is it a financial issue? If that's the case, then you have time to begin the "campership" process. Most, if not all, camps offer them in some form. It may be income based tho, depends on the camp I think.
At 14 my daughter was also a stellar student and was asked to participate in a summer exchange program. She went to London, Paris, Cologne, Brussels, and Amsterdam. It made her who she is today. She has gone on to earn 2 almost 3 degrees - an AA in Child Psychology, a BA in Elementary Education and she's 2 classes shy of her BA in Child Psych, all while having/raising 4 and now maybe 6 (she may be having twins!) children.
I truly believe it is very important for kids your age to get out into the world and learn how to be self sufficient. It is crucial to development and summer camp is a safe place to learn these valuable skills. Imagine going away to college w/o ever having had to rely on yourself before!
From your post, it sounds like the camp has kids from other states quite often. They have plans in place for this. It's also quite probable that you wont be the only one they pick up at the airport that day!
And if all that doesn't work, try reminding them that the time you are away at camp is a great time for them to do the things that they've been wanting to do. Whether it's travel or simply stay at home and enjoy the peace and quiet! :-)
I too was raised by my Grandparents, and it can be difficult as a kid. They kinda forget that times have changed and it's not the same as when they were kids. I have Grandkids your age, and if they wanted to go to gymnastic camp in another state, I'd have no problem with it. As a matter of fact my 10yr old grandson is going to football camp in Maryland for a week at the end of this month! (We're in PA!)
Good Luck, and feel free to let your Grandparents check out my response.
