Before going on the plane, it was very stressful! Going security made me very nervous because I didn’t know whether the people would let me go on the trip or not. I say this, because while I was in the line, a security officer asked me why I had taken out the wrong “tickets” and why I wasn’t prepared when I got up there. After explaining that I had never gone through the whole “getting ready to board a plane experience” before, I was let through and made my way to the scanner. After going trough the machine, my bag had been pulled aside for inspection. And during that inspection, not only did they have to check my laptop, but I also lost my toothpaste. Turns out that was supposed to go into my checked bigger bag.. oh well, I’ll just get more later!

After finally boarding the plane, that’s when my nerves and excitement started to kick in. I was practically jumping out of my seat, wondering what it would look like outside my window, thinking whether it was going to be a smooth ride or not, and questioning if my ears were going to drive me insane. When we finally took off, my breath was literally taken away! The view outside my window was amazing, I was comfortable the whole time, and the trip was overall amazing! Not once did I ever get afraid, and I enjoyed the experience all the way through! I absolutely can’t wait till I am on the plane to Brussels!
