The four young girls found the
personal experience exciting from
start to finish. For three of them it
was the first time they had flown on
a plane, as Angie had just returned
from a vacation in California the
week before. “My ears are still
popping,” said Tricia. The only
thing that didn’t impress them was
breakfast on the plane. “I couldn’t
identify what it was,” Angie
stated.
The real highlight for them,
however, was meeting the people
from Australia who were visiting
Calgary. It was really fun talking to
them said the girls. “We’re not
sure, now, whether to say ‘Howdy’
to everyone or ‘G’day mate,” says
Jacquie.
All girls agree it was an excellent
opportunity for them or as Jacquie
would say, “It was awesome.”
