Atlantic City Line

Our flight was delayed when we got to Moscow and we had to wait for 4 hours. It was 4 hours of torture as so many thoughts went through my head. Will he let us pass? Will I be able to make it on time for school? Finally, it was time to get in line to board the plane heading to America. As we got closer to the gate agent, I felt more nervous. I swallowed as I waited for him to check our documents. First, he checked mine and nodded, and then he checked my mother’s and nodded, finally, he looked…

had all of our bags and belongings. My sister and I were at the airport with some family members in Africa waiting for our plane. The plane arrived at six pm (GMT), we made our way to the ticket line. I have never seen a line so long in my life. We spent at least six to seven minutes in the line. Seven minutes later, we made our way to the front, and the woman asked for our passports. After returning our passport, she told us our seats were ready, but there was a problem with the…

I still hadn’t stopped quivering and I was sure my face was as white as a sheet. When we finally arrived I had pretty much accepted my fate and solemnly grabbed my ticket from a perky teacher, whose name I did not know, and slowly shuffled into the line. We ended up finding out that our flight was half an hour earlier than we thought and had to sprint to get there on time.

Lucy and Jesus After “First-Time Flyer FAQ” on page 189 I was restlessly sitting in my Coach class chair, as Olly was asleep like a baby. The flight was surprisingly very calm except for a bit of turbulence here and there. It’s remarkable how mankind was able to find a way to get big hunks of metal to fly through the air. I wish I could do something like that with my life, except that I’ll never have the opportunity to do so. “How are you doing Olly?” I say while he’s sleeping. Olly just grunts…

Castles n’ Coasters. I was so excited were was doing something fun and going somewhere. After we all finished eating we made it to the amusement park an hour later. It was 10:00 A.M and we got in line to get out wrist bands, and even though there was only 2 people ahead of us it felt like we were in line for a long time because of the 100 degree air.
