What felt like only minutes later we touched down. As I stepped down the steps of the airplane I could smell the salty sea water and hear the palm trees swaying in the wind like they were dancing. All four of us scurred of the plane like little rabbits being let out of their cage for the first time. Not one person was any less excited than the next and In no time I found myself in the rental car. The tires of the car glided on the road seamlessly. We arrived at our hotel just hours later.…

We just got off the plane and we are in Atlanta, Georgia. We came from Ohio and it was about an hour and a half to Atlanta. Atlanta is the biggest airport in the U.S.A. They had a big food court and a lot of shops to shop in. We were heading to gat D. We had to take the train, but we had to stop at A, B, C, and then finally, D. We had to go through security and that was the worst part. When we finally got finished with security we waited at our gate. After we got on the plane we took our seats then started to fly. I loved it when it was going up in the air because it felt like it was a roller coaster and you had that feeling like your belly is hollow. My sister and I watched the movie Pitch Perfect 2. It took about 312hours to get there but it…

November 17, 2015 was one of the most memorable days in my life. After eleven long years I was finally going to see my family in New Orleans. My cousin, Mykeasha, and I had to fly all the way from California to Louisiana. Since we had to board the plane in LA(Los Angeles) my mother-in-law decided that she would take us. When we arrived to the airport to leave California, I started to feel a little home sick. ''Maybe it's my nerves,"I thought.'' I know once I board that plane and we take off there was no turning back.'' We proceeded to Bag Checking to check our bags in, the lines moved very quickly and after that we relax until it was time to leave. It started to seem real and I knew that in a few hours we will no longer be in California. When…

Overwhelmed. The only word I can think of when the flight attendant calmly says, “Welcome to Port-au-Prince, Haiti, you may now unfastened your seatbelts.” Tears fell from my eyes and all the emotions that I was feeling for the last 4 hours suddenly began pouring out. I had never been to Haiti and the only mindset of it I had was that there was killing and kidnapping. I was extremely anxious because of that. “NO!, YES!, NO!, YES!, NO!!”, my conflicted mind begins to yell. I couldn't believe that I was actually there. Holding up the line, I got off the plane as slowly as possible. Ironically, being up in the air was much more relieving than being on the grounds IN HAITI !. “Daph, you’ll be alright,” my mom says. “Hopefully,” I mumbled. I thought to myself that maybe just maybe I will actually enjoy it.You will never actually understand the importance of bigger things without appreciating the little things…

It is an experience that he has never quite forgotten, even though he has been on hundreds of flights since then. As the plane took off, he stared through the window and watched as Shanghai disappeared from sight. He watched until all he could see was the endless blue ocean below him and the blue sky (a rare sight in Shanghai) above him. The inside of the plane was dark. All the windows were shut in an effort to help people sleep over the constant roaring of the airplane. The fourteen hour flight was not a pleasant one for my dad. Thoughts of the new place he was heading kept him awake all…

Throughout that day, I was just thinking about how in less than fifteen hours I would have been over six miles high, traveling six hundred miles per hour. Then it was the big day. I said goodbye to all of my family members and my father and I headed off to the airport. We arrived, drop off our baggage and went to check in. When my dad and I finished that process, we sat down to take a break. For some reason, I was thinking a series of “what if” questions regarding attackers on the plane, just because of previous terrorist attacks. I knew I was most likely safe, although I just wondered. Our flight number was called and I walked on the plane. Right before I walked in, I did my flying routine of giving the plane a slap. I do this for good luck. Shortly after we got seated, the engines started winding up and I began thinking again. Next thing I knew, the plane started rolling. Louder and louder the engines were roaring. The take off was my favorite part of the plane ride. We were moving like a roller coaster and shooting off the runway. Faster and faster we rose into the…

The plane lurched forward and I edged it towards the runway. It’s wheels began to roll quicker and quicker as I pushed the throttle further away from me. I came close to the edge of the runway and pulled the control wheel backwards in towards my stomach, the plane shifted upwards, it’s nose pointed towards the sky and we began to fly. My stomach began to somersault as we gained altitude. I had never grown accustomed to the feeling of liftoff…

It was June 13, 1995. I was in El Paso TX, boarding a plane, with a one way ticket to San Diego CA. I knew once I boarded that plane my life would never be the same. All I had in my possession was the clothes on my back, my wallet, and cigarettes and a liter. I was a scared 18 year old but an extremely excited one also. I knew I was leaving all my friends, family, and loved ones as a young immature teenager but would return with more maturity and a brighter future. As the flight began its taxi down the runway I was thinking to myself, am I doing the right thing or should I have chosen a different path for my life. I spent the entire flight trying to rest and relax but my anxiety would shoot through the roof and then I would calm myself with the idea of earning the Title.…

We were at the airport after a bouncy bus ride there. When we got there we were unpacking the bus and waiting to get our suitcases. While I was waiting, people from my group didn’t know me and asked me if I was ready to get on that plane since it was my first time. They told me that it was going to be better than the leaping bus ride there. Finally I got my suitcase and we all started heading to the check in line. As the line was getting closer to the check in desk I was getting more and more nervous. I felt like my stomach was burning and felt that my organs wanted to scream and get back on that bus. But I was a big girl and sucked it up and got in line to get in. We approached the plane and I was getting more anxious and nervous. I stepped in the hallway that leads to the plane seats and sat down next to the window, which I think was a bad idea. Once the plane was full it started to back away from the building and started to go faster and…

The two hour drive seemed like five like five minutes because I was reliving all the excitingly amazing and wonderful adventures that I had with my friends. When my uncle announced that we had arrived I looked out the window and saw a plane taking off, it seemed to be like a thousand feet long. As we arrived to the airport I thought of going back to my safe house. However, once I stepped inside the airport the thought of going back changed. Although, I was excited about going to a new country and making new friends, part of me did not want to leave my childhood memories behind.…

I saw a lot of strange faces in the group I was going with, I didn’t feel completely comfortable, but when traveling you have to go out of your comfort zone to witness amazing things. All of a sudden an announcement came on overhead, “Attention everybody boarding the Guatemala flight, the plane is having problems starting up. There will be an hour delay.” I listened to everyone trying to be positive about the situation. My optimism was…

First I would not say I had the worst time of my life when I was travelling but it was not the best either. It took me 15 minutes to buckle my seat belt and the hostess was frustrated as she was training me through it. It made me think of myself as being from the prehistoric age and behaving similar to a cave man. Somehow I managed to do it, but I was pretty sure, I did not do it right and did not want to bother the hostess anymore. I assumed she'd had enough for a day. I will never forget my first day in the United States. I was so excited to come here. Arriving in an odd and new nation – conceivably interestingly and most likely all alone – can feel extremely scary and confining. The first airplane ride was quite an experience too. The…

When I was young I always dreamed of flying on a plane. Finally, my dream was coming true, and I was on my way to the USA where I had always known I would end up. This was my first trip on an airplane, and it was also one of the most memorable experiences of my life. I remember everything about my first flight, and it was a lot to remember since it took twenty-seven hours from start to finish. The fight did have one stop in Japan, but that was just to change planes. Once my parents and I got onto the plane and sat down, I started to look at everything around me. I noticed the small white air vents right above my head with little lights next to the vent. It was so great because the controls were right on my armrest. There was a place on the armrest to plug the headphones in in order to listen to music or watch a movie. After everyone got settled into their seats, the airhostess came over the intercom and explained all of the safety procedures. But I am going to tell you; I couldn’t understand what they say, besides staring at their body language. They also showed everyone how to put the seat belts on correctly. After the airhostess was done with…
