I am going on a vacation. That is a statement I have been waiting to say for a very long time. It will be my first time off in three plus years. I planned this trip ahead of time to make sure I don’t miss out on any aspect of the trip. My destination is South America. It is the first time I will be traveling to that part of the world, as well. The temperature should be warm and the skies sunny.

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.

Business class also give certain amenities for use during travel. For instance, they provide a night time eye patch, comfortable foot wear, and even toiletries, such as an eau de parfum spray. There is also a mini tooth brush, mouth wash, and dental floss. The packet also includes some soaps and body washes.

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.

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.

I also brought with me a digital camera. I plan on taking many pictures and with the new web based applications, I can download the pictures to a website. This will allow me to take as many pictures as I want without needing extra storage cards. Another useful item is the AC convertor. The electrical cords that are used in North America don’t always fit the outlets in the South. Therefore, convertors are necessary.

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.
