She woke up early the next morning, eager to begin her adventure. She didn't even say good-bye to her mother, knowing that it would get her know where.

She boarded the bus to the airport. She sat with her suitcase on her lap and pulled her hair back. She let those blue eyes shimmer just a little, then released her hair once again. She gave a little sigh, impatient to get started on her journey. She got off the bus and saw the airport. When she was a teenager, she used to walk miles and miles and just sit in the airport, letting her mind wander. This time, she was actually going somewhere.

She got in line to board the plane and pulled out her passport. She was ready. As they stamped her passport, she excitedly looked down, seeing the black ink. She took her seat on the plane and realized she was a little sick. Thiswas her first time on the plane, just how she had always imagined it. As the plane took off she waved good bye to her old life. 

She fell asleep, after looking out the window for 3 hours. It had gotten dark, and she could see the ocean reflecting off the ocean. It was magical. Her friend in the other seat had fallen asleep 10 minutes after boarding. She shook her head slowly in amusement, wondering how someone could possibly do that. Slowly her eyes closed and she dreamed of the lights of Bangkok.
