August 3, 1978

Today we got up at 6 o’clock and at 7 we drove to the airport. Our plane was delayed from 11.35 to 1 but we did not take off until 2 o’clock.
During the flight I became a member of Junior Jet Club and mummy gave me this pop-a-point pen.
Grandma + Grandpa came to get us off the plane and we went to the motel. Bobby and I went swimming and we had dinner.

My mother had a very clever strategy of buying us each a new toy for every transatlantic flight we took, and only revealing it during the flight – nothing big, but enough to look forward to and something we could use during the journey.
