Furthest Traveled

Share a story about the furthest you’ve ever traveled from home.

I was 23yrs old when I first traveled abroad, the first time I had been on an aeroplane. My son was 10 months old. Wow, it was a long and tumultuous flight. We departed from London Heathrow to Sydney, Australia. It wasn’t a direct flight, I don’t think there was a direct flight then, not sure if there is one now.

We had two refuelling stops en route; Singapore and India.

Having never flown before I didn’t know or had experienced turbulence. WOW…my son was thrown out of his cot and hit the ceiling of the aeroplane. The flight crew looked terrified, there were numerous passengers praying in the aisles. I myself, was laughing…hysterically!

The journey, overall, took over forty hours.

I was laughing hysterically because I was terrified.

But, I have flown again many times since 🤗.
