I had a video chat with him last night and we were talking about it. He said how excited he was to be coming here and was explaining how he is going to get his racing bike on the plane...which was interesting. He also gave me the run down on what Lego we should build and suggested we could go to the shop when he's here to get some new sets.
It's going to be good because he's the sort of kid that likes to do lots of things. It'll be hot so we'll have water fights and go to the beach (lake for kayaking) and also just hang out and heaps of other stuff. We'll make a lot of fun for sure.
Outstanding! I was wondering if his bike comes apart for transport. There must be an easy way to do it since racers travel all the time. If you could satisfy my curiosity and let us know after he arrives, that would be great. I have no clue why that interests me, but it does lol.
Yep, the easy way is to plastic wrap it and check it in as a large/bulky items. His way isn't so easy and involves it sitting on a seat next to him (with the seat belt on). Lol. I travel with guns all the time, sometimes long gun cases, and ammunition and it's surprising to see what else goes on planes, some things the passengers would never expect. A BMX bike is the least of it.
I'll probably do a post or two when they're here and may get a chance to photograph the bike as I'll be the one picking them up at the airport. I'll get back to you.
