Leaving on a Jet Plane

Kara and Jono board the plane...

And yes, this is the last of the airport series (at last you say!). I actually took about 80 keepers, but these were probably the best ones.

    Thanks Helen :) The final moment after a much longer than planned wait in the departure lounge.

    I thought serious faces were appropriate when going through check-in. I think they become suspicious when you smirk! :)

    You might be right there Rachel, I know I was somewhat on the lookout for Security Guards giving me The Eye because I had a camera on me.

    Well, see, its like this - we had bypassed the 'Unaccompanied Minors' process as too expensive and difficult and were just putting them on a plane on their own (at the suggestion of the Qantas ticket office, I feel I need to mention) but I was concerned that they might get turned back, most inconveniently, at the last minute by Qantas staff going 'on your own?!?!', so I instructed them in 'appearing confident' and 'knowing whats happening so no one notices you'
    That, and I think they were totally sick of waiting, meant they weren't doing 12 and 10 year old bouncing up and down as they went through the gate ;)

    Wow, this is an awesome shot, David! You captured a great moment there. Kara looks a bit sad or probably just tired.


    You win a trophy!
