Darrick of Owego, along with his girlfriend Haley and their best friends Josh and Ann, started planning an unforgettable vacation back in March. If Darrick was going to take his first flight somewhere, it would be someplace warm and exotic, so the Hawaii vacation plans began in earnest.

Five months after the group of friends decided that the warm and exotic place they wanted to visit was Hawaii, the couples traveled to Buffalo Airport to catch their flight to paradise.

As Darrick was getting ready to board the plane, he was filled with understandable jitters and happened to mention to the flight attendant that he was about to embark on his first ever flight.

In good nature, the flight attendant ribbed Darrick a bit and announced to the rest of the passengers on the flight that it was Darrick's flight - at the age of 28. To celebrate Darrick's first flight, the crew made him a crown out of a flotation device.

According to his girlfriend Haley, Darrick spent the first leg of the flight gripping his seat and refused to look out the window. Because of bad weather, the flight was rerouted to Indianapolis and after the plane landed, Darrick remarked that he loved flying.

On the flight home, Darrick and Haley played "rock, paper, scissors" to see who would get the window seat and Darrick was the winner which Haley didn't mind because it made her happy to see how much his attitude about flying changed.
