My Flight to Canada
was
Last month is very special. I fly by myself for
the first time! I am a little nervous but it is
exciting. First, I take a taxi to the international
airport terminal. Then, I check-in at the check-
in counter and walk to the departure lounge at
Gate B64. I am early, so I don't have to wait a
long time to go through immigration and
security. Then, I wait in the departure lounge
for about 25 minutes before I get on the plane.
After I board the plane, I walk along the aisle
and find my seat. Then I sit down and
fasten my seatbelt. I am lucky because my seat is a window seat, so I can
look outside as the plane takes off. After a few hours, the flight attendants
serve us dinner and then I talk to the passenger next to me. His name is
Eduardo and I am surprised to find out that he is also travelling to
Vancouver to study English for the summer. Finally, I watch an action
movie and then our plane lands soon after that. I have a wonderful time in
Canada. It is really fun and I make lots of new friends from all over the
world. Next week, I will fly back to Mexico but I will never forget my time
here.
