Ready to go!

At the airport today farewelling Jesse - he's off to Canada. In spite of his face, he was very excited. (It's not cool to smile when your mum is taking the photo!) He had heaps of gear - in the snowboarding bag is his large saw and some clothes - in the metal box are his woodchopping axes. He will arrive just in time to get into the Canadian woodchopping summer competition.
OMG. How did he fare with security and customs? It's a lovely family shot Dianne, and I wish Jesse all the very best in all his endeavours. He deserves it.

@golftragic It's usually not a problem - everything is really cleaned, well packed, all declared etc. He has travelled many times overseas with this type of gear, so knows all the requirements! I imagine it would have cost a fair bit in extra weight though.

Great shot, .. all the best to Jesse.. no more wood chips around the house for a bit..

@dide Definitely, just hope he wasn't hassled by the bl--dy-minded officials.

Reminds me of when I saw my son off to Oz a few years ago. Thank goodness for modern communications technology!

He's significantly well packed

Wow, that's a lot of equipment to carry. Wish him the best of luck for the competition.

Ha ha I liked your description! Great shot of Jesse and all the best to him in the competition.

Nice capture and good luck with the comp :-)

An important documentary shot. Obligatory to look like that at your Mum.

Good luck Jesse! And Diane, I know that look all too well!!!

wowo what was he carrying
July 23rd, 2014  
Some luggage...makes me look like I really travel light! What an exciting time for Jesse.....he is going to the right place if he is a wood cutter that's for sure. It's wonderful how these youngsters are able to travel round the world. You will miss him & it's always a worry when our babies leave the nest!

Keep us posted on how Jesse is doing - that's a bunch of gear to keep hauling! You know people in the airport are going - huh?? - and taking guesses!
July 23rd, 2014  
Hate to think what the excess baggage would cost....Hope he has a great time and does well over there.
July 23rd, 2014  
Is he allowed to get on to the plane with bag this big!
July 23rd, 2014  
He has got so much to take with him. Hope you has a great time!
My daughter went to Canada for three months, stayed a year and brought home a husband... look out, those Canadian girls might snatch him up :)
