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.

I planned for the plane ride, as well. The trip is scheduled to take at least seven hours. Therefore, I chose my clothes, accordingly. I selected loose fitting sweat pants and an over sized t-shirt. When I go to bed, given that we will be flying at night, I brought along my Nautica sleepwear. Since, I am flying business class the seats also fully recline.

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.

Other benefits of flying business class include the wonderful variety of menu options and even off menu choices. As a vegetarian, they provide a separate choice of entrees and even deserts for the lactose intolerant. The airline attendants are very attentive and accommodating. The choice of on board entertainment is also vast. I was able to enjoy all those second tier movies that I was waiting to catch on DVD.

In my carry on, I bring along a change of clothing. This I planned to wear before the plane landed. The outfit consists of a pair of jeans, tank top, belt, and leather brown boots. I also have a straw summer hat. Hopefully, I will be able to change in time. The remainder of the contents in my carry on consists of personal items and a few valuables. Among these items, there is some local currency and my passport.

Among the valuables, is my new digital camera. I will definitely be getting my money’s worth with this item. The camera is rechargeable and I did not bring any additional memory options. The reason for this is that I plan to download my snapshots onto a web site. This will not only allow my friends to see where I am traveling, but also save space on my camera. There is also an AC convertor. This will be helpful as the electric outlets are different in this part of the hemisphere and not directly compatible with all electrical accessories.

At last the plane seems to be preparing for landing. I quickly put my seat in an upright position and gather my belongings. I have a mp3 player, a book, and a guide book in which I have been taking notes. After assembling my belongings, I await in queue to use the wash room to change my outfit. Its been a long ride and I can’t wait to land. This is going to be an exciting and fun trip.
