THE FLIGHT By Ploy

The Flight

Last May, I went to Tokyo, which was the second time I had travelled abroad. I went there with my cousins. We were five but I was the oldest in the group. Before we went, I booked the tickets for everyone in our group. I decided to choose the cheapest seats and no meals during the flights.

We got on the plane and everything was alright while the plane was taking off. Ten minutes later though, when I was sleeping suddenly I smelt some food and then I woke up because it made me hungry. A few minutes later, my cousin, who was sitting next to me, looked at me and said quietly, “I’m hungry”. Then I noticed, I had decided wrong because I had thought as our flight was around the time we usually sleep, we would not be hungry. However, we decided to be patient until we arrived at the airport. The following days, we travelled to many places in Tokyo. We were really happy even though we argued while we were travelling.

After a really busy five days in Tokyo, on the last day of that trip, we had quite a short time before our flight took off. We decided to go shopping quickly. After we got off the subway, we were quickly walking to a mall. Suddenly, I noticed what I wanted to buy wasn’t in the same place as my cousins. Then I stopped walking, but nobody knew. They were still walking and I couldn’t tell them. Therefore, we were separate two hours before the flight. Ten minutes later, I texted them and we resolved to meet again where we had dropped off our luggage. An hour later, I arrived at the meeting point but nobody was there and we would miss the flight immediately. My cousins appeared five minutes later. After that, we were walking, packing our luggage and looking for the way we should go. Everything were incredibly fast. Fortunately, we arrived at the airport three minutes before the final time for check in. it was an extremely stressful experience. We were imagining what would be going on if we missed the fight. It would be terrible situation I thought. I hoped it wouldn’t happen again.

In conclusion, I got many experiences during that trip because I was the oldest in the group. I had to decide many things on my own without any help. I think, I should organize everything carefully. By the way, I still enjoyed being a leader because it challenge me.

How heavy our luggage are.
