Airplane Photography That Will Make You Want To Catch The Next Flight Out To Your Dream Destination
When I was just 8 years old, my mom booked me a flight from San Francisco, Ca, to San Antonio,Texas so that I could spend my whole summer vacation with my grandfather.
This was the very first time that I had ever been on a plane-but my mom knew my personality very, very well. I was a mature, spunky and independent 8 year old, who enjoyed my freedom, and was way more excited to travel by myself, than I was scared.
In addition to my mom giving me strict instructions and warnings, she continued to tell me over and over again, what to do in case of an emergency, and exactly what to do if I felt like I was in danger.
Because of my age of course, I was not totally alone, and without help-A lovely Stewardess was assigned to accompany me throughout my flights!
I remember my Stewardess introducing herself to me with this huge smile-and having to kneel all the way down to the floor to greet me because I was so tiny!
But before I allowed the Stewardess to take me away, I turned back around to get one last glimpse of my mom-I was also looking for some sort of special sign of approval from her. After eagerly watching my mother nod and smile, I felt this enormous surge of confidence within me. The Stewardess then gently took my hand, and lead me down the long jetway.
Once on the plane, I was seated next to a young boy, who looked to be about 15 or 16 years old. (He could of been younger, but this is how old he was in my 8 year old mind) I also remember that he kept me pretty entertained the whole flight, by showing me how he could flip his eyelids inside out!

Sweet Memories
These are just some of the sweet memories that began to fill my head, as I embarked on my very first international solo trip on October 6, 2021.
Before my trip to Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, I had not been on a plane since my late 20's.
Feelings of excitement still take over me while the airplane speeds super fast on the runway, and then takes off up into the air. That has always been my favorite part of flying since day one! I love the rush! I also enjoy the light feeling of being suspended in the air, while on top of the clouds.

My parents raised me at a young age to be fearless and independent, and I know that it is because of them, that I am not afraid to try new things, or go into unfamiliar territories by myself. I thank my mom for “shipping me off” alone, and for giving me that unforgettable and amazing experience.

As time passed, we would regularly fly as a family from Northern to Southern California, Vegas, Louisiana, and Texas. Every year while in High School, I would go on to fly from California to Corpus Christi,Texas all by myself to visit my aunts and cousins.
In between the years, (and still as of today) I have been on many road trips, with and without others-but nothing of course is like traveling solo by plane.
