After alot of research and reading everyone's advice, I'm hoping friend's that I've asked to go with me don't want to go!

Realistically, I don't think I'll have a travel buddy anyway. The problem is my parents. I am 23, female, and they DO NOT want me to go alone (I think the Natalee Hollaway tragedy has scared them a bit). I know numerous people have asked this same question but I think my parents are alot more hesitant!
I'm going to do what some of you suggested-keep them informed on my intinerary and what i'm planning to do, and I think I will print off some reassurances from the message boards and show them! I will probably do Busabout just because it seems to be safer and fits with my travelling plans.

BUT-I don't think this will be enough! I'm scared they won't even read what I show them! What else can I do to assure them!? (I'm going in June-so I have a few months to convince them)
