My First Time on a Plane - Personal Narrative When I was seven years old I went on my very first holiday abroad, to America. I can remember waking up at Five o'clock in the morning to catch an early flight from Heathrow airport. I was so excited I forgot about the daunting effort of getting up so early. My Mum, Dad, Brother, grandparents and I set off on the long journey to the airport, then Orlando Florida. I remember the white taxi van used to transport us to the airport with its incredibly tiny seats, which made getting any sleep impossible. Sitting next to my brother, who was in a very irritable and annoying mood, made this slightly harder. There had been a major accident on the motorway that held me in suspense not knowing whether we would get there in time to catch the flight. When we finally arrived at the airport my brother was ordered to go and find a luggage trolley, which I remember he was very unenthusiastic about doing. The only part of checking in I can remember is when my Gran couldn't understand a word the Pakistani steward said only made worse by my Gran's hearing impediment. The eleven-hour flight over to America was one of the most exciting parts of the holiday for me. Trying to work out how to put the seat belt into the little lock contraption puzzled me for a while. Even though it was so long ago the thought of playing games on the plane with the onboard games console still excites me today. After about five hours of exploring the onboard entertainment, it all got a little boring. So I turned to looking out the window and asking my granddad what was below us for entertainment. I remember asking my gran... ... middle of paper ... ...hird day my mum insisted that we visit sea world that you can see back in the U.K. but we went anyway and saw a huge whale in a really small tank. But we were assured 'he loves it here'. I was not convinced. The rest of the holiday we spent in Miami. When we arrived in Miami the first place we went to was Palm Beach, which was slightly better than the littered beaches at home. The sand was bright yellow and the water was really blue. Miami, despite its much-hyped reputation is a very strange place. Before I knew it, the holiday was over and we were travelling back to Britain. The eleven-hour journey flew past. When we arrived back in Britain, I didn't know what day it was. So we all slept continuously for three days. The holiday was the best holiday abroad I have ever had and would really like to go back again.
Critique of “First Flight” The “First Flight” is an excellent short story that made pathos for the reader to portray in the life of an everyman who has to deal with exclusion and people’s bad choices. Gregory is an 18 year old who just wants to be sociable but everyone just shuts him out and doesn’t pay attention to him. He stops in a train station to warm up and is ridiculed on a false accusation of stealing a pilot uniform. W.D Valgardson perfectly shows both of the main themes.
I was lucky enough to have a privileged youth, from the time I was six-years old my family was traveling. While in countries
I was more than ready for the lacrosse game to begin, we were playing our biggest rival and the most physical team in our whole division. We were pumped, the air horn rang for the games to begin and they did. It was apparent that we were coming out on top, we scored three goals in under six minutes. We kept this up until the air horn blew to indicate half time and we were up by four. Soon enough I was back under the heat of the sun playing. Time was ticking down and we were only ahead by a one goal margin. Somehow, I got the ball all the way down and ready to shoot. In a blink of an eye, a girl swung her lacrosse stick, missing my stick, instead hitting my head. Rather than being escorted off the field because I was hit, I continued playing; this was a bad move on me.
We were traveling thought all the beautiful places and cities in the country. During our vacation, one day we stopped at a restaurant in a small town. As we were eating, my 16-year-old cousin said to me hurry up, finish your meal and we’ll go play outside. I was a little boy just turned six years. I was excited to go play outside with my cousin, so I was the first one to finish with my meal.
Out of all the trips I have taken, Cancun was definitely the best. It was 2013 and I was in fifth grade. I had known about the trip for weeks and I was so amped up for the plane ride, for the hotel, and especially the ocean. I was in science and the teacher was getting mad because I was distracting all the kids by jittering all over the place. Finally I heard my name called over the intercom and I leaped for joy and ran out of the classroom. From school we drove to the Iowa Airport, got our tickets and loaded onto the plane. Our first plane took us to Chicago, Illinois where we boarded a plane , at the O’Hare International Airport, departing for Cancun,Mexico. The second plane was very lengthy, I tried to sleep but I didn’t actually fall asleep
“Sure we will take three bags of peanuts” said my mom to the nice flight attendant. My family and I were on a tiny airplane when I was just a baby. As I have been told, I have always been very good on long trips. However something about this tiny plane did not settle well with me and a series of events happened. My family and I were flying to Yellowstone National Park for a family reunion. We were flying from New York City to Jackson Hole WY. As I said this was a tiny, boarder line old plane, so that meant that if I were to cry the whole plane could hear. Now this was not my first plane ride as a baby, however this was especially an unforgettable flight. As you can imagine that was a long flight for a baby. During the decent down to Jackson
Have you ever wondered sitting on a chair at the height of 45,000 feet is safest way to travel? Yes, travelling through airplane is seven times safer than travelling through car and even walking on roads. But, though it is safest way, but it doesn’t mean that it is most comfortable and friendly way.
Jenn let herself into the motel room. The room was small, and dark with dingy wood paneling and matted beige shag carpeting. The circa 1970's furniture did nothing to add to the charm of the place. What did it matter? It was base of operations, nothing more. This wasn't about comfort it was about settling a score. In her time as an agent she'd certainly stayed in worse places. Her first trip into field in Riyadh with Ryder came to mind. One summer they spent two days crammed into an ancient rust bucket of a truck surveilling a terrorist cell in the desert heat with no air conditioning. The temperature soared to 112. Inside the truck was sweltering and rank with sweat. It was like being inside a toaster oven. When they'd gathered enough information, they called in reinforcements and took down the cell. It was her first real mission. Ryder went to bat for her when the bosses balked, saying that she was too young, too blond and would stick out like a sore thumb. Ryder made the argument that this was a surveillance detail and data gathering mission. The were hidden away inside a truck. He suggested she cover herself with an abayas and her hair with hijab, hell, she could wear a burqa if necessary when she got in and out of the truck
When I was thirteen years old my family and I went on a vacation to Las Vegas NV. The parents went out to a concert that night so my siblings and me were home alone.
I was beginning to worry about sustaining our finances while adding moving costs during flight school when I learned students received $16 a day Per Diem for expenses because was a temporary assignment. My boss, the airfield adjutant, told me how to call my detailer in Washington, and I had a start date within a week. My class began in early January and departure from Fort Benning the beginning of December. Lesson learned; ask for your desires. My boss was a pilot who needed to fly his annual minimums. He took me flying twice; once in a brand new UH-1H and once in an OH-13G. Though I didn’t control the aircraft, it provided excellent familiarization.
my family there for the first time when I was about three. To this day I still
“Jesse wake up its time to go!” my aunt whispered. It was about 2:45 A.M and I was half awake. The day had finally come, the long awaited trip was yet to be made. It was going to be a trip that would make history in my family, it was one that we could not have afforded had it been our plan. But I had been blessed to be nominated as one of the four students to represent my country Rwanda in the 2008 international mathematics competition held in Chiang mai Thailand. What made my flight special was that it had been delayed for four days because the space availed would not accommodate the twenty three delegates of which I was included. Besides, I was on a mission to compete on behalf of Rwanda, my country, my family counted on me to return home with a prize. It would be my first flight.
My internal organs thumped against my chest as I dragged my bag along the carpet floor and into the corridor. As I walked into the long hall, I glanced up and noticed the sign telling me I could get on. My entire body could barely hold itself together with the anticipation of the monumental, dream-come-true event about to take place. I said to myself, "I'll soon be in the air." I slowed my pace to further enjoy what was happening. Swarms of people walked around me as I treasured knowing that one of my lifetime goals was now inevitably going to occur. The excitement and adrenaline running through my veins could have killed a horse.

My most memorable family vacation took place two years ago. We went to Corsica, a French island situated in the south of France right next to Italy. I remembered waking up early excited to visit this new land. Used to take long flights, I was surprised to arrive to the destination after a one-hour flight. Even though the flight was short for me, it was stressful for my mom, she has never felt secured in a plane, probably due to the fact that she is afraid of height. When finally arrived at the destination, the dry and warm weather was there to welcome us. We all felt relief, and knew that this was the beginning of the summer. Excited, we had a lot of activities planned for the few weeks, me and my father could not wait to dive in the clear
