We were finally taking the vacation of our dreams. One that had been put on hold for years, due to work, school, lack of funds, etc. But we finally got everything worked out and we were headed south to the Virgin Islands. Actually, we were headed to a deserted island off the coast, but we couldn't fly onto it. We had to take a boat there. It was the plan to charter a boat to drop us off there for 4 days then come back and get us. It was going to be heaven. 4 beautiful day s on a white sandy beach with nobody around but you and me.
I couldn't help but giggle a little as I watched you though. We were standing in line about to board the plane, and you were fidgeting, not standing still, and checking your bag every five seconds. "Relax," I tell you. "Everything's going to be fine." It was your first time flying and you were not excited about it. Fear of heights was not helping your cause either. We finally boarded and found our seats. You fastened your seatbelt and pulled it extra tight. I just shook my head as I put our things in the overhead compartment and sat down. You didn't know it yet, but I had a plan that was going to keep your mind far from this plane, the height, or anything else but me.
