T-Rex on a Plane


Its five AM at home, and I’m sitting on a crowded airplane unable to sleep. I still cannot believe I’m finally on my way. Leaving home yesterday was hard. I felt like I didn’t have enough time to prepare for the trip, because I’ve had so much school work lately. On Thursday, I was still running around town picking up last minute items. I forgot some important items, like sunscreen and my glasses, in the rush.
 By four PM Thursday, I was ready to leave, and spent the rest of the day just waiting until it was time. When I got to the airport, I was really nervous, but excited at the same time. Half of me wanted to stay home with my parents, and the other half couldn’t wait to get on the plane!

I could tell my mum was having a rough time saying goodbye at the airport, but she was really excited for me when I left. My dad wasn’t as emotional, but I know he will miss me too. Saying goodbye to them really hasn’t hit me yet, and I’m feeling like I will only be gone a week.

Waiting for the plane at the gate was agonizing. It felt like every other plane was being called for boarding except ours. Finally, when it was our turn, I made my way down the ramp, on to the plane, and into my seat.
I’ve never experienced such a small plane before! The seats are so small ive been rubbing elbows with the man next to me, and I had to eat my dinner without my arms extended like a T-Rex!



 He also feels the need to take off his shoes, and put his arms on my arm rest. Major space violation! I don't mean to sound like a jerk, but he was a little too close for comfort.


I’m looking forward to getting to our hotel tonight and having time to take a shower and sleep. There is a bit of turbulence right now, but im hoping that settles down so I can go back to sleep!

TTFN!
