I was skipping out of school because this was the day that I was going on an overseas trip to Ireland!
When I was walking home from school I was so excited that that was the day that I was going to Ireland!
As soon as I had got home I dropped my bag, got my suitcase all ready, got changed and got my carry on bag together, but there was just one thing I had gotten all this stuff ready but are Uber wasn’t coming for another hour to pick us up!
Soon that long dreadful hour of boredom but excitement had finally passed by, we hoped in the car with our suitcases, neck pillows, and carry ons and off we went. As soon as we arrived at the airport we got out of the car and grabbed a trolley to put our suitcases on, but for some reason I always like to wheel suitcases so I insisted to wheel the case. (just cause I like to wheel them!)
So I wheeled it all the to the suitcase check in desk and at that time I had to say goodbye to the suitcase.
After we checked in our suitcases we went upstairs to get a Mc Donald’s dinner!
We then went to a cafe in the airport and waited and waited for our flight to start boarding. I checked the boarding screen one last time for our flight, and there it was our flight time said ten minutes!
So I then quickly ran back to my mum and my sister and rustled them up to get going!
They finally got up out of their seats and got moving. When we were walking to our gate I could just see our plane but it was still hard to focus on it because our flight to dubai was at night. I still wasn’t to sure if that was our plane that I was looking at, but when we got to the gate I was sure it was the plane. We had to wait for an hour to board our plane. After that hour of waiting the intercom went off “all unaccompanied minors, and elderlys please board the plane now”. Then straight after that it said “ all parents with children board plane now” so that was our que!
When we were walking down the aisle to finally board the planes body, I felt butterflies in my stomach with excitement!
When we got to the plane door there were cabin crew at the door they greeted us checked our boarding ticket and off we went. we stepped into the plane and as we went past I tried to get a glimpse of the cockpit, because the door leading to it was wide open but I couldn’t as there were more people trying to board the plane.
When we were walking down the aisle to get our seat, didn’t know which seat it was so we just kept walking and walking and walking until we found it, and … it was the very back seat! I said to myself Nooooo!! The reason I didn’t like it back there was because you get served your dinner last and you don’t get to be by the wing of the plane. But at least it was quiet back there and a lot of spare seats to sleep on! And a TV!
After everyone had boarded we started to make our taxi to the runway!
I closed my eyes when we had got to the runway I closed my eyes I opened them looked out the window and up we were we were finally on our Journey to Ireland.
I thought to myself just a few hours ago I was skipping out of school so excited to be on this plane and here I am!
