My first airplane ride. Looking out that window wondering what I had gotten myself into. We flew over land. Not sure why the floatation device was necessary. I was prepared for the worse but hoping for the best. Was told this was a horrible flight. Seeing as how it was my first I had nothing to compare it to. I caught a few images out the window during prayers. Getting ready to land in Houston. I would have kissed the ground but my knees were shaking to bad.
