Sending off Axel

We spent a good part of the morning in the airport sending off Axel. Check-in took 2 hours and then the plane was delayed for another 2 hours. Axel had been excited all morning and took it in good stride. But he did get a bit anxious when the steward/chaperone came to pick him up. However, he was not the only one travelling alone on the flight to Atlanta. He was part of a group of 4 12-14 year olds. And he gave us a big big smile when he was escorted through security - ready for adventure!
