Call them every night. They'll miss you too. During the day, actually DO things as opposed to sitting around moping and missing your family. I don't know where you're from, but Massachusetts might be a very different environment for you to explore. Not every state has a Dunkin' Donuts every 10 minutes, ya know. Oh, and despite what you may hear, not everyone here is mean. Enjoy yourself and before you know it, you'll be going back home!

Have fun! :)

ugh i hate leaving them. honestly, its hard not to get less sad when you leave them, especially if they're criers like mine lol. i would try saying goodbye, i love you, i'll call every night, and then as you walk away, toward the gate, think about the vacation and how fun it's gonna be and even about telling them everything.
one week isn't bad either, i know its enough time to get you home sick, but i usually go away for two weeks every summer. it sucks, but try not to worry about it and just think about what youre gonna do while your out there. hope i helped (:

I know how you feel. I just went on a two week long trip without my parents.

The best thing you can do is call you family once at night and talk to them. This way, you won't really have to go without them for a week, because you will still be able to hear their voice and talk about things with them every day, just not as much.

Another thing you can do is take things that remind you of your family. Maybe there is a picture of all of you that you could keep in your pocket, or even one of your dogs' favorite toys? It sounds weird, but it really does help. Take lots of things that remind you of home, like your favorite stuffed animal or blanket or picture, and look at them and touch them whenever you start to feel homesick.

I hope this helps. Have fun on your trip!
