My First Vacation In A Long Time

This is my first trip in over three years and I am very excited. Its been a long time since I took a vacation. I have been planning this trip for months and now the time has finally arrived to depart. I am going to South America and this will be my first visit. The weather is suppose to be nice and warm and I have packed accordingly.

My planning also extended to the plane ride which is set to be seven hours in duration. I carefully selected my clothes in preparation for this flight. My outfit on the plane is going to be loose sweat pants and a large t-shirt. For sleeping, I plan on changing into my Nautica sleepwear. I selected to fly business class which should make the trip that much more comfortable.

In business class, the airline provides a number of addition amenities. For example, they give a small pouch that contains a night time eye patch, comfortable socks, and also toiletries. The toiletries include, among other things, a tooth brush, paste, comb, floss, and an eau de parfum spray. There are some body wash soaps and the like, as well.

Another advantage of a business class flight is the vast array of menu choices. There are also off menu items that can be requested. I am a vegetarian and this is very helpful given my dietary limitations. The attendants on the flight are very accommodative. There are also a number of entertainment options, including games, movies, and music. I was able to fully take advantage of their offering.

I also brought with me a change of clothes for when we are about to land. I put these items in my carry on. I have a pair of jeans, belt, tank top, and leather brown boots. I am hoping to wake up in time prior to landing so that I have time to change. The rest of the items in my carry on are personal items and valuables. I, of course, have some currency and my passport. This is vital.

One of the valuables I took with me was a digital camera. This is probably going to get the most use its ever gotten. I did not need to bring an extra memory card or storage drives because I plan on downloading the pictures to an online web page. This way my friends can see where I am. I also have with me an AC convertor. This will be invaluable as the outlets in this part of the world are different and my electrical gadgets are not directly compatible.

The pilot finally began to speak and announced that we were approaching our destination. Excitement rushed through me. The attendants were advised to prepare for landing. I did likewise. I gathered my accessories, a book, mp3 player, etc. And stored them away. I set my seat in an upright position. I then headed for the rest room to change into my vacation gear. I am finally here!
