Ever since he could remember, young Jeff wanted to fly in an airplane more than anything in the world. His mother had told him that if he saved his pennies, they would take a trip together. And here they were, on the first of a series of connecting flights that would take them from Newark all the way to Los Angeles. Best of all, Jeff had planned the entire trip by himself. Jeff's mom was a Grade-B movie actress with a talent for attracting men. In her company everything became an opportunity show more for adventure, from that strange airline food ... to that suspiciously nervous passenger ... to that beautiful stewardess who stole Jeff's heart. But this was only the beginning. The real surprises lay ahead that night, and in Jeff's future.

A very short little story by the famous actor and celebrity John Travolta. Travolta should not give up his acting job to be a writer. He is famous for his love of aviation and he's a certified pilot capable of flying the big jumbo jets. This is a cute story of a young boy on his first plane trip across country. It's a nice little story which no doubt has a lot of personal meaning for Travolta and perhaps it was his own childhood experience. A reader of any age can enjoy this story and it's a very quick read.
