Training began at the end of May, and with preparations and packing finally complete it was time to get going. First hurdle was getting everything on the plane with minimal excess baggage costs, no easy feat when dealing with Air China. While unpacking and re-packing everything in the terminal saved some of the pain, it still proved an expensive exercise - for some reason excess rates are higher to Mongolia than most other countries. As long as they took care of it all we were fine.
