The trip to Washington, D.C. was the most exciting plane ride I have ever had! Well, basically the only one I had ever had! It was really fun and was something new that I enjoyed and would love to do again.

The first plane was from San Francisco to Philadelphia. It felt like the longest plane ride ever. I didn’t get much sleep at all, because I was very paranoid. I kept asking questions and thinking, “should I close the window, or not?” It was all very puzzling and very scary, but fun at the same time.

Although I enjoyed it, I felt sorry for the person I was sitting by, Sennua, because she had to take all of my “first-flyer” questions. But over-all, by the time I got to Philadelphia the jitters were gone and I was ready to continue my great trip.

In the airport, I was really tired, but I didn’t want to miss anything, so I stayed awake. I ate some food and explored a lot. Also, the fire alarm went off many times and I was the only one who was a little scared. Everyone else just laughed, and knew it was a joke. The next plane wasn’t that exciting because I had just spent many hours on a plane. Yet it did introduce me to something new - turbulence.

The second plane ride was slightly delayed due to rainy weather. While on the plane, it started to get really bumpy like a crazy rollercoaster! I didn’t know what it was, and at first I was kind of scared. But Baba Jahi assured me that everything would be okay and that it was just turbulence. That was very interesting. I also met a girl who was also from the west coast. She was from Oregon and we talked a lot about traveling and how much fun we’d have in DC. It was amazing!
