Act up like a little spoiled brat - no trip, period.
Behave, and listen when she's told told - off she goes on her trip.
So simple even a parent should be able to understand it.

lol, oh man, we gave her NUMEROUS chances because quite frankly, we didn't WANT to take it away. But she blew it. As a parent though, as difficult as it is, sometimes it has to be done. I guarantee to anyone that hasn't done it, WE felt WAY worse than she did. It's the same with spanking. I can count on one hand the number of times we spanked our kids, but it was a terrible feeling.
But in 10 years, I'm betting (admittedly with a lot of hope thrown in there) that my kids will be better off than those kids that have never had to deal with the repercussions of their actions.
