We were going down, and we were going fast. The last thing I remember is my mom and dad reaching over and hugging me as tears streamed down my moms face. That’s when I  heard, “we have lost all control. Please stay calm and stay seated. Buckle up a. . .” That’s when we hit.

I was so excited. We were going on a plane to Hawaii tomorrow, and I have been waiting for weeks. We were staying with my grandma tonight, because she lives right next to the airport. I couldn’t sleep that night because I was so excited. And when I did fall asleep, all I could dream about was my parents sitting on the beach, while we were out splashing around in the water. What would the flight over there be like? Was it scary on a plane? What if we miss our flight?  I asked myself these questions, because I have never been on a plane before. The night seemed to last forever. I thought The time would never come when we got to leave. My cousins were waiting for us to come, we couldn’t let them down. I was so anxious to see them, for it seems like years since I have. And my dream was cut short with the sound of my alarm waking me up.
Finally the day has come where we get to leave for our new adventure. I got dressed as fast as I could, because I didn’t want to miss the plane. Once we ate and got all ready to leave, we said goodbye to our grandma and left for the airport. My grandpa drove us over there, and when we got there he helped us unload our bags and them we said goodbye. When we stepped inside the building, it was huge! Also there were people everywhere. I guess everyone wants to travel. I didn’t realize that we would have to go through so much security. Oh my goodness, the next corner you turn has security everywhere! It is crazy in here. Finally, we reached the end where they check your ticket and then you get on the plane. My stomach turned as I stepped through the tunnel, and onto the plane. It was tiny! How were we going to move, or have any space? Anyway, once you get seated, it takes ten to twenty minutes for them to get everything ready and then take off. Once they are ready, they tell everyone to buckle up and turn off all of the devices for take off.
We finally got into the air and were soaring above the clouds. It was beautiful up here! How could I not have seen this before it was so pretty! It is amazing how people could invent something like this. Wow! After a while, the “plane helpers”, that’s what I call them, came around and asked what we wanted to drink and if we wanted a snack. I asked for water, and they give you free snack mix! It is Awesome! When I got done drinking my water, I went to the bathroom and you can’t even take a step in there, it is so tiny. Anyway, when I got back to my seat, the plane started shaking. And all of a sudden, The plane wasn’t soaring above the clouds any more. We were going down, and we were going fast. The last thing I remember is my mom and dad reaching over and hugging me as tears streamed down my moms face. That’s when I heard, “we have lost all control. Please stay calm and stay seated. Buckle up a. . .” That’s when we hit.
