Memorable Florida Trip

In 1988, my youngest brother and best friend chose to join the navy. I greatly desired to attend his boot camp graduation.

After weeks of sweat, toil, and tears, my shy, quiet brother had made it! I boarded a plan from Ohio and eventually landed in the beautiful city of Orlando. Having never flown there, I was awed at the size of the airport.

My mother and dad had driven down with friends of theirs, and were to meet me at the airport. The problem was they got mixed up on what gate I was at, and my dad could not find me. They had me paged and I was going to meet them; however, Dad panicked and began to run around looking for me, which panicked his friend. Now he had two people lost in this massive airport!

As luck would have it, Dad's friend happened to run into me a moment later and Dad was not too far away. We then were able to enjoy the weekend celebration for my brother in the warm city of Orlando.
