Thanks, Duncan! I think the single clip point Charlow is one of the best.
And safe travels!!! I bet you are going to have a blast. I wish I had the courage to take one of my Charlows on an airplane! I suppose the airline industry in the states is a bit more tightly wound than elsewhere, lol.

Well, that's a long flight, Duncan!! But it will be worth it!
I am envious as heck.
I hope you get three seats in a row so you can take a nap!
We'll save a place for you at the table in the pub Charlie
I'm sure Duncan will be taking a few pics

Thanks for the kind words, everyone.
I've done it in 3 hours and some, but this time it took closer to 4-- I was exhausted well before leaving PA, let alone embarking on the hike(!). But it was worth it.
Two days before I left for NH, my oldest son was married. Joining me for the day was my older brother and his near-20 son, the first we've all seen each other in over 14 years.
My brother was fascinated by my Russell barlow (which I used to cut my food throughout the reception). The next day as he was preparing to leave, I brought out the Russell and again explained its age and provenance, then showed him a TC barlow in saddle brown-- "This one was made between the wars... and this one was this year."
Then I told him that the saddle brown TC Barlow was, of course, his. Once the hoopla had subsided, I gave my nephew a TC Barlow in rust red.
The wedding. Such joy and heartache all at once, unforeseen and unfortunate difficulty from extended family to and through the event.
Nothing and no one could diminish this, however:
My brave, beautiful daughter-in-law walking herself down the aisle to the man she loves:
Recessional:
In which Pertinux (who cleans up well, and did not wear her engineer overalls-- roughly in that order) dances with her son...

That's fantastic Sarah!!! Thanks for the pictures. I know not of what certain things you refer to in regards to turbulence and triumph but in one of our family weddings we experienced the two "T's" as well.
In the end all was well and worked out---I feel some people love "DRAMA" in their lives---me, the less the better.
Thanks again for your terrific pictures!!!
