Have you ever been to an airport-and lost some of your luggage? Or, has the airport ever told you that you were on the "no-fly" list? Better yet, have you ever been on a plane? What was your first reaction...miserable, right? It was my first time going on a plane a few years ago, and I couldn't have been more excited! I was going to Florida with my mom and sister. So, as usual, we had to put our bags down that we wanted to keep with us on the plane-and the people working at the airport had to check them. As we were walking through the medal dectector, it kept going off-as if we had something dangerous with us. Who was it happening to? ME-of course, because it was my first time on a plane. What were they trying to do, scare me or something? Whatever!

We finally found out what it was, ten minutes later. It was my stupid shoes and belt. So we walked through and went on the plane. 3 hours later, we get to Florida-and have a blast. When it was our last day there, I can't lie-I was a little bit nervous to go back on the plane. I got over it, and went in the car. We were on our way to the airport and there was so much traffic! Finally, we got to the airport and went on the plane. The plane ride was going perfect, until we were about an hour away from landing.



BUMP, BUMP, BUMP is all i feel. It felt like we were driving through an earthquake! Turbulence is the only word i can say. If that happened to me on the way to Florida, I informed my mom to not expect me to join her on the way back! That plane ride home was the most terrofying experience of my life! I'm not going to lie-I couldn't wait to go back home! When we got to Newark Airport, in New Jersey, my dad was there waiting for us by the baggage claim, but of course it took forever! Another story? We had a huge blizzard in New York while we were in Florida, so we were kind of stuck in the house for a day or two.

The "no-fly" list, you might ask? Recently, my grandma went to Florida and while waiting at the airport, to recieve her ticket slip, she was told that she could not go because she was on this thing, called the "no-fly" list. Well, my grandma flipped out! Why would she be on the list? What did she ever do? Well, it so happened that someone else has her name, and they didn't realize-but it still took forever for the employees to let her get onto her flight-wow, she's lucky she didn't miss the flight!
