Definitely. Everyone having a laugh, eating mountains of sweets and having a kind of chill time all together on the way. Will definitely be tough coming into a group like that, even if it’s people she already goes to school with.I don't know if things are different nowadays, but when I was a teenager and went abroad with school, the journey, whether it be coach/boat/plane, with my school friends were so much fun! I imagine Isabelle will feel like she's missed out when she arrives at the campsite and her friends are full of anecdotes from the journey
I know obviously it’d be silly to do a big trek home just for Isabelle to turn round and do the same journey back but they didn’t have to plan this big 6 week holiday knowing Izzy had the trip coming up. Could have come home a week before or something.
