Travelling With A Kite

I'm off to Edmonton this weekend. The next 3 long weekends will be spent visiting Emily and her family there. Now that I've rediscovered kites, I figured it would be good to bring my new kite there. They have nice winds this weekend...

Unfortunately, the kite is around 90cm long when packed. That's too large for all of my suitcases. At the same time, the kite can't travel alone as checked baggage - it's too fragile for that.

So, time to disassemble part of my desk, and use the metal beams as strengthening struts of my kite bag. I pity the luggage that tries to wrestle with my kite now, protected by rigid metal poles... and a few pair of socks. :)
