My First Flight Journey

I was a girl who used to go to school / college ane return back to home and read my lessons, watch tv ,etc . I haven't travelled alone even to the nearest town . But after my marraige , everything changed . I applied for passport In March 2006 . I was supposed to get my passport in April ,Unfortunately It got delayed . My husband returned back to US , in July , right after our marraige . I got my Passport in August . I attended the VISA interview on August 28th. We scheduled my travel to US on September 7th . My parents , My In-Laws , My Uncle came to the MAA ( Chennai) Airport , to give me send-off . They all know that i have not gone anywhere alone or have not done anything without my parents at my side . I entered the Airport bidding Bye to them. My heart was filled with Thrill , Excitement , Fear and Eagerness .
My husband and His Friends have given my ample advices for my travel . But I forgot all of them..(hehehe) and was staring at the Airport , without knowing what to do..Thank God that an Airport trainee helped me until getting my boarding Pass . I said him a 100s of thanks and went to board the flight .
I travelled from Chennai--Mumbai--Delhi--Frankfort--Chicago . Wow!! All throughout the Journey My heart was filled with a kind of fear that I should reach safely . I had a friend who helped me in taking my luggages in Chicago . The humourous part is that i was unable to push the trolley . It took nearly 15 mins for me to take the luggages out of the Airport . Even now I used to remember this when i am using the trolley in the shops and my husband used to make fun of that incident . I saw my husband waiting for me . My eyes were filled with tears of joy . ....................................
