First plane ride

My internet friend,
Elena...bless her kind heart,
invited 12 of us
to come to Key Largo
for a few days of art.
I was actually terrified!!!!
Id never been on
a huge plane before ,
BUT How could I refuse
a trip like that?

This is the airplane, I flew back
from Miami airport in.























The 12 of us on the
balcony.

There were Palm trees
Bougainvillea
and
Scrambled egg trees
everywhere.






































Please look at older posts for many more great photos.
