A Descriptive Experience Of The First Plane Trip

First Plane Trip The first time I went on an airplane, was when I was twelve. My family was traveling to California for the first time, to visit the family on my father’s side. I remember being nervous, but, extremely excited at the same time. It was a long trip, about six hours give or take, and my family was not prepared one bit. Yet with all the chaotic things that happened, it was still a memorable and fun experience. Of course for the first time on a plane, you’re going to think the worst. You can’t help but imagine all the things that could possibly go wrong. Things like getting lost in the airport, loosing your luggage, even the plane crashing; and don 't forgot all the chaos of finding the gate, being on time, and looking for seats …show more content…
I can remember my sister catching the whole plane’s attention. She decided to take a nap, while chewing gum. She forgot to spit it out before hand, and woke up with it stuck in her hair. She had a blue clump that just got tangled on the back of her head. I remember it being the gum Winter Fresh, my sister 's favorite. You could just smell the mint on her. She was angry and embarrassed at the same time, and didn 't know what to do. All the flight attendants were running around, trying to figure out how to remove it and help her.

Being a kid back then we didn 't have a phone. So of course, we couldn 't keep track of the time. Resulting in us having spent half an hour walking around exploring. I remember my mom running up to us panicking, saying, “We’re ganna miss the plane ride home, come on!” We all began freaking out, not knowing what to do. All of us just began running through the airport, dodging all the people and their luggage as fast as we could to make it back in time. Everyone sprinting, trying not to trip or drop our bags. Meanwhile, our dad was trying to stall the plane from leaving without us. We felt ridiculous! We just couldn 't help but laugh at ourselves. Being a parent, of course that was stressful, but for a kid, it was more fun than anything. The trip was definitely not what I was expecting, but I had an amazing time. I ended up getting a ton of hilarious and memorable moments that I’ll remember
