Departure

Crystal and i went to KLIA just this evening to send Denise off
As predicted, there was lots of waiting...waiting...and waiting...

Got to see the entire process.
Lotsa family and friends mulling around, waiting for the students to get their bags checked in, taking photos, waiting for the briefing and just talking (we saw Denise's boy boy! Talked to him too. =P).

While waiting, Crystal and I checked out their luggage sizes, backpacks and etc. (yeah, we were getting statistical data in preparation for next year) The boys sure travel light. Either only small bags or one big luggage plus a backpack. What can you possibly fit into such little space?! Though most of the other students brought two bags. I'm guessing a 28" and a 26".

Then came the briefing where passports were handed out. Then one by one, they descended towards the immigration area. Though i was surprised there weren't any waterworks. No, Denise didn't tear either. Hahaa. She just went pass the immigration, got through the security check and on towards the terminals. No looking back.
So that's the start of a new part of Denise's life. =)

Next year, it'll be our turn to descend those escalators and wave goodbye.
