Is it normal homsickness problem?

I am soon going on a school trip to Normandy in France for 1 week. I'm extremly nervous because I get REALLY homesick... We are not aloud our phones, only our iPods (but there I no wi-fi to email my mum). I'm really nervous just thinking about it. Any tips on how to stop being homesick, and is this normal???

    After you get through the first night, you'll probably just enjoy the novelty of having fun with your friends in another country. After the week, you won't want to come home.

    Try not to worry too much. You'll have fun.

    Very normal. Get your mum or loved one to record a msg of luv an support on your iPod and or have a special card with photos in it. Also tell people that your really nervous. You won't be the only one feeling that way, I'm sure. I'm a shocking traveler!
