is anyone glad..

[Tony]

I kinda am.. I mean its a wonderful thing and all.. but... wow.. there are sooooooooooooooo many people... I tihnk I would easily get lost... lol... my sense of direction.. its not there..Maybe id be fine if I was with a huge group of people I trusted.. but .. I dunno, huge crowds like that scare me

[Catholictothecore]

I am so envious of everyone going. I've told my mom "I don't care what's happening in our lives, I don't care which continent it's on, I will be at the next WYD."

[Tony]

better get planning on going to Australia then

[Catholictothecore]

(grins) Is that where it is?

[Tony]

I believe so

[Catholictothecore]

Awesome. (reminds self to pack a gajillion tubes of sunscreen.

Now watch is be somewhere else. :

I am, but that's because I spent four months in Roma and Europe (including Germany), so I'm not missing too much.

And oddly enough, my trip was cheaper.

[Catholictothecore]

I'm not going because my diocese wanted 5000 dollars a person so that they could book 5-star hotels in Germany. I'm so ticked at that. I mean, IT'S A PILGRIMAGE, WHO WANTS TO STAY AT A FIVE STAR HOTEL ON A PILGRIMAGE!

[Ash Wednesday]

I for one wish I could be there. I wanna see Papa!

I was at WYD 2002. It was awesome.

Ah the wonder of Paint.

I really did want to go, but I just can't afford it all. Maybe someday.

[Mrvoll]

It will probilly be on ETWN

[immaculata]

I would have loved to have gone, but seeing as I'm moving up to school on Monday and starting my week-long freshman orientation.... it's probably a good thing that I didn't go.

This will probably sound horrible, but I actually chose not to go, I had booked the trip but then canceled for a lot of reasons. Mostly I just didn't feel comfortable going to far away from home without my parents. I have never left home for very long, and I don't do very well on my own. (I'm only 16, so I'm trying to not to be too hard on myself for being afraid.) Also, I'm afraid of airplanes, I just don't understand how they stay up.

[zabbazooey]

I wish I could've gone...

[MissScripture]

Part of me wishes I was their, and part of me knows that I'm not meant to be. If I was supposed to be there, I would be.

[curtins]

I'm 15, and sometimes feel the same way. However, I would have went in a heartbeat. You gotta cut those apron strings sometime.

They are kept aloft by the faith of the passengers. You have to have more faith in the venturi effect then you do in gravity. If one to many passangers starts to doubt that planes are capable of flight, then said airplane will crash.

i'm kinda glad. all those crowds would make me have a panic attack.
