My First Airplane Trip I took my first airplane trip about four months ago, at age thirty eight. It might seem silly to some people, the reason I've never flown before, but I've always been terrified of flying. I moved from Florida about three years ago, I didn't dare fly, so we drove. It was a long trip which took two days, but to me anything was better than flying. Most of my family still lives in Florida. In late November I received a call from one of my sisters telling me that my mother had a heart attack and the doctor didn't expect her to pull through.I knew that if I ever wanted to see her again, and let her know that I was there for her,
