We all can learn things from books and film but to really get a better understanding of the world, different people, cultures and landscapes...a better understanding of life, in general..... is to experience it/them first hand. Right now your children only have an understanding of their parents and the small Texan world around them and what the media feeds them that they've seen, so, although it may be hard at first to let go of the comfort zone of what they have known, it will be good for them to expand their horizons and a good lesson in how to change and adapt and become less fearful of change and other parts of the world which they don't know of yet. I would look at it as an opportunity for them to become more well rounded, more "cultured", more educated through experience.
