runway traffic and low fuel stopped it from descending at JFK International, per NBC New York. Things didn't get any greater in New Hampshire, where the plane had to wait overnight because of laws on how many hours a crew can fly.

""Jump?" I jumped and started falling towards the Surface. I'd only been falling for a few seconds before Karane zoomed by me, feet first and screaming. I groaned; I'd forgotten to instruct her on how to do this. "Karane, open your Sailcloth," I yelled. Karane fumbled with her Sailcloth and opened it, floating lazily on the winds. I pulled out mine, several seconds earlier and I opened my up as well. We floated lazily down, over lava streams and steaming earth, until we landed in a solid…

The trip was long and tiring. The plane landed the day before they were set to play. They took a bus to their hotel, when they got there everyone went to their room and unpacked. Later that night they all got together to eat. During dinner everyone was talking, laughing and having…

their seats. After the luggage had been unloaded, we made our way to check-in for our luggage registration. I walked away without my suitcase, feeling as if I forgot something important. Security screening was the only obstacle between us and the plane. Time passed as music audited in my ears.…

Anticipated, I disembarked from the airplane as soon as I saw bloody dead bodies lying down on the dry, cracking floor from my clear glass window. From its appearance, the country seemed deserted, looking as if it was abandoned for the past hundred years. As I continued my walk in the airport, waiting for my administration work to be finished, I looked out the big glass window, observing local citizens who are suffering from the deserted environment, malnutrition, deaths, poverty, depression.…

pass the small airplane window. I sighed in relief as I heard the pilot finally announce that we were landing in the John F. Kennedy International Airport in Queens, New York City. The whole atmosphere was so new to me. I finally got of the crowded plane and grabbed my bags from the baggage claim and made my way outside.

Seconds slowly faded to minutes as those minutes crept to hours. Fourteen hours later of sitting in a confined aircraft, I finally reached my paradise. It was a break from the world I needed to escape from. As I strided off that plane, I felt all the layers of my worries peel off and remain behind me. With a recent court case involving work, my dad being hospitalized, and being dumped by my boyfriend over text I needed and escape and here it was. Ten days on the beautiful Hawaiian island of Oahu…

South Florida has lots of problems including drugs, bad drivers, alligators, floods, crowds of tourists, and…

there, they'll meet me in the airport, we'll run and hug and kiss like we haven't seen each other in an eternity. Hopefully we'll get lunch after because I am just starved but too excited and busy to find the time to eat! (7:50 am)Finally I'm on the plane. I've never really liked flying but I find no use taking a stinky Greyhound or train. Plus, they paid to fly me back home so why not?…
