UPDATE AT BOTTOM
So this is it, tomorrow I leave for Missouri, I'll be getting on the first plane I've ever been on and I will be traveling alone. Scott and Frank told me to bring some chewing gum because my ears are gonna wanna pop and bring me great discomfort (thanks for the tip fellas *wink*). I paid an extra $10 to guarantee a window seat so I can pear out
upon the fiery death that might await me, as we fall thousands of miles out of the sky to our doom. Ah, it's not the fall that scares me... it's the sudden stop at the end. I heard it's a doozy
. Nah, I'll be fine... I'll just use that little trick that Indiana Jones did with the inflatable raft in
The Temple Of Doom, yeah, thats what I'll do... no worries.
- Plane ticket to Missouri: $40
- Living expenses: $50
- Pretending that you're Indiana Jones while free falling through the air on a life raft because your plane ran out of fuel: Priceless
There are some things that money can't buy... lol
I'll try to take some pictures to show you guys when I return.
What was your first trip away from home on your own? And do any of you have stress reliever tips for the take off and landing? I heard they can be nerve racking for a first time flyer.

Ok, so... I'm in Missouri! *smiles* Things are going great, I feel at home. The flight was amazing, it was so much fun... I liked it a lot. I can't wait to fly again. Ok, well, there is a birthday party I have to get back to.

gum is totally something to bring... also a book, for waitning @ the airport...
lets see the first time on a trip on my own... well I don't know if you count visiting my grandparents... would go for a few weeks every summer... but the first time I traveled alone, was 17 flying back home from colorado, my mom moved out there and so we drove... but then I flew back on my own... but it was really just fine... then I traveled several times on my own to visit... and once flying out of midway (chicago) to denver... I was standing behind Kyle Chandler at one of the food cart stands... course I was a dummy and didn't say anything... but he smelled really nice
hav a great trip!!!! ttfn...
I was 11 or 12, went on a 4 hour bus journey to my mother's house, it was 80 miles but it stopped at a lot of places. It was a familiar journey, I'd done it often before but accompanied.
$40 seems very cheap for a plane ticket.
I truly don't remember my first trip away from home. Or my first pane trip. *shrugs*
Meeting Ernie Reyes, Jr = you rock!
I saw Butterfly Effect in the theatre. The alternate ending??? I'l have to check it out.
Have a great trip, Far_Skies!
Since i was practically BORN on a plane, i'm always incredulous when i hear of people who never flew before...i can understand people who never JUMPED OUT OF ONE before, THAT is an acquired taste
