Her Dream Came True and It's The Happiest Day of his Life

Traveling to the sunny and beautiful Bahamas in their friend's private jet from New York was the best day of my grandkids' lives, according to them. My granddaughter said that her dream came true. My grandson said that it was the happiest day of his life. As you can see, they were well fed with bagels, cream cheese, fresh fruit and plenty to drink. They even had WiFi on the jet. I'm just happy they arrived safely and are enjoying a week of warm, sunny weather. I've been on tiny 6-seater planes, but never a private jet. Have you?

No, I've never been on a private jet, or a small plane, or a helicopter... I've been on a private yacht though... It was during a company function held aboard the yacht that belonged to the president of the company...

I never had been on Yatch either; but just small boats that we rented for some rides on lakes and Sea.

I have never traveled on a private jet, but I have traveled on the President's helicopter - back in the day. The last time I tasted bagels was years ago when I visited New York.

That's wonderful and her smile says it all! I hope they have fun in the Bahamas. When I was first married, my husband had a friend with a private plane and took us up. He even let us have the controls. He did say I couldn't take it into the O'Hare flight path. He took the controls away from me. Oh well, I had a blast and wanted to get my pilot's license after that short jaunt. It was tons of fun. I would still like to have a pilot's license, but that isn't in my cards.

Thanks! It was novel for all of them. My son sent photos of where they are staying and called. It's paradise there and from the weather reports, they will have a week of sunshine and warm temps. They spent lots of time swimming. That must have been so exciting to take the controls of a plane! We have two sets of friends with their own planes. One used to fly from his home in my town to his home in Florida and for business. The other flipped over during an emergency landing and got killed. So no little private planes for us, ever!!!!!

@DianneN That can happen in the future, because your granddaughter is a friend of that rich friend. Who knows the parents will also invite the parents and grandparents to ride on their private jet.

@Marty1 Bagels are not easy to make, but not too hard, I found the recipe online. It's this recipe that I follow
This bagel recipe is so good that you’ll be bowing down to the bagel god after you take a bite out of one of these freshly made bagels!

That's a great experience for your brother to have. I'm sure a private jet ride is not in my future. . Do you have bagels in Switzerland? I love them, but only have them once in a blue moon.

Love her smile, that is one happy young lady, Dianne. It is good they are enjoying an awesome week. I wouldn't mind all that lovely fruit and bagels, yummy! I have never been on a private jet @DianneN but experienced my arms floating up into the air on a Boeing when we hit some turbulence and got the giggles.
