Today was the day that I started my journey to Israel. I traveled with my family on a tour through my church. We left church around 11:30 A.M. so that we could reach John F. Kennedy Airport in New York in time for our flight to London, England. On the drive to the airport, which took about three hours, I saw the Statue of Liberty and we drove over the Brooklyn Bridge. We also saw skyscrapers in Manhattan.
When we arrived at the airport, we had a little difficulty with our electronic tickets but it was taken care of and we were able to check in. JFK Airport was huge. It was like a mall and an airport combined. As in any airport, security was busy but we got through smoothly. We arrived at the airport a few hours before we were set to leave for London so my parents and I went shopping in the airport to pass some of the time. We bought a gift for my Grandmother and drinks at Starbucks before we sat down and waited to be called to board the airplane.
We boarded the airplane soon after 6:00 P.M. and we were on schedule for our 7:01 P.M. departure. Some people quickly fell asleep but I waited. After about two hours we were served dinner. I had pasta with pasta and several sides. After I ate, I took a nap, knowing that when I woke up it would be almost time to get on another airplane to go to another country.
