Farewell

Today was about Cousteau-cub. First she had to pack and then check the weight of her luggage. She only arrived with 8 kg so you would expect her to be way within limits. The Coventry Hobbit had, however, given her a shopping list. This included Fray Bentos pies, Pot Noodles, Frozen fish in sauce, and goodness knows what else. At the weigh-in she had achieved 21.6kg.

There was a last minute flap as she realised she hadn't printed her eTicket, but we soon managed that and got on the road to airport. Urban-cub stayed at home - she had some work to finish, so The Silver Vixen and the Gorse Fox provided the escort to the Terminal.

Cousteau-cub was soon checked-in and had her boarding card. We stopped for a last chat and hug and watched as she disappeared through security. We were sorry to see her go, but delighted that she had been over. As we are hoping to go out to Thailand in the New Year, hopefully it will not be too long before we see her again.
