Box Kids

Joy and Elias's school is trialing a new program that allows busy parents to have their children 'mailed' to school. We decided to give it a try and were pleasantly surprised. Sure it's a little more expense, but you get that 'peace of mind' knowing the kids are getting to and from school without incident. It also beats having to walk 5 minutes to the school and back.

CityLink are the current service providers as UPS couldn't seem to find the school for two days. They provide a box that suits the age of the child and you put whatever you like in with them to amuse them on the journey. Pickup is at 3am and drop off usually around 4pm.

Here are kids returning from school today. They actually got lost for three days being taken to the wrong depot in Dubai. But as you can see they treat it as an adventure.

We're considering sending them ahead of us with the luggage as we take the train to the South of France this Easter.
