My Flight to Canada

Last month is very special. I fly by myself for the first time! I am a little nervous but it is exciting. First,
I take a taxi to the international airport terminal. Then, I check-in at the check-in counter and walk to
the departure lounge at Gate B64. I am early, so I don’t have to wait a long time to go through
immigration and security. Then, I wait in the departure lounge for about 25 minutes before I get on
the plane. After I board the plane, I walk along the aisle and find my seat. Then I sit down and

fasten my seatbelt. I am lucky because my seat is a window seat, so I can look outside as the plane
takes off. After a few hours, the flight attendants serve us dinner and then I talk to the passenger next
to me. His name is Eduardo and I am surprised to find out that he is also travelling to Vancouver to
study English for the summer. Finally, I watch an action movie and then our plane lands soon after
that. I have a wonderful time in Canada. It is really fun and I make lots of new friends from all over the
world. Next week, I will fly back to Mexico but I will never forget my time here.
