At the beginning of summer, my two sisters and I would travel together as 'Unaccompanied Minors' on an airline from Canada to Sweden (or Norway) where we'd hang out for two weeks with our cousins hiking and windsurfing.
Then in the last two weeks of summer, our cousins would fly 'Unaccompanied' over to Canada where they'd all stay at my parent's tobacco farm with us which is right in the middle of the Great Lakes Region of Ontario. We'd hang out at the white sand beaches playing beach volleyball until summer finally ended and school would begin again.
My parents never traveled with us as adolescents, but instead took advantage of the opportunity to ship us out of town for a couple of weeks!
