This January I left the United States for the first time — I took a plane to Amsterdam in the Netherlands!
Before the journey Louisa made me a passport. It wasn’t issued by the US government, so I don’t think I can count it for #15 on my list. But still, we were both hoping the customs agent would agree to give me a stamp when I arrived.
We flew out of O’Hare International Airport in Chicago.
The last time I flew on a plane I was only going as far as Louisville, Kentucky.
I knew I was in good hands with Captain Robert and Copilot Frank, but they could tell I was feeling a little nervous…
…so they took me around on a preflight check.
The engines on KLM’s Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner are huge!
We even got to see the cockpit!
After the preflight check we all boarded the plane.
I just wish the windows were a tiny bit lower.
Here I am mid-flight. You can tell I’m just about to fall asleep.
It was a long flight, but I made it. And guess what?
Customs gave me a stamp.
Thank you Dave, Louisa, Robert, Frank, and the rest of the flight crew for taking such good care of me.
