What is it like to travel on a plane?

PC is a Detroit student who will be flying to Barbados in 2014. She has some fears and concerns as a first-time traveler. She asks, "What is it like to travel on a plane?"

View of wing from an airplane window

The best way for me to describe flying on a plane as the take off of an airplane is like going up in a roller coaster. The mid-flight sensation is similar to floating in water when the ride is smooth. If there is turbulence, the airplane feels like a train bumping on the tracks. The landing feels like a roller coaster going down the track.

I created this playlist of videos to help answer her question.

Please donate to Abroad For A Cause  to support the students from +atlantic impact  who are traveling to Barbados this summer. +atlantic impact works with Detroit students who have never traveled outside of the city of Detroit. +atlantic impact's mission: "Atlantic Impact increases opportunity in persistently low-achieving schools by using history, community engagement, and international travel. Through experiential learning and student-led opportunities, youth develop college-ready skills that empower them to become the next generation of urban innovators."

I learned about Atlantic Impact at the Women In Travel Summit held in Chicago during St. Patrick's Day Weekend.  I was impressed about the mission of taking students from Detroit out of the violence an poverty to experience international travel.

Atlantic Impact's Mission Statement:

"Atlantic Impact increases opportunity in persistently low-achieving schools by using history, community engagement, and global exchange. Through experiential learning and student-led opportunities, youth develop college-ready skills that empower them to become the next generation of urban innovators."

Atlantic Impact is a federally recognized 501c3 nonprofit organization. Your donation is tax-deductible.

Atlantic Impact has been featured on Broadcast coverage (FOX, NBC, CBS, myTV affiliate stations), Print coverage (Detroit News, BLAC Magazine), Online coverage (State of Michigan, Detroit Public Schools, Black Celebrity Giving), National advertisement campaign (Jeep, USA Basketball).

The City Detroit has recently been in the news for filing bankruptcy. The financial crisis has greatly impacted the educational opportunities for Detroit's students. I applaud Atlantic for partnering with Detroit students over a three year initiative beginning in 10th grade.

Atlantic Impact's beliefs:

1) Our historically based experiential learning program for youth is aimed at increasing opportunities in their lives on several levels.

2) When youth become more invested in the places where they live, their lives and communities are transformed. This is at the heart of our work.

3) The combination of local and global engagement helps youth spark innovation in our nation's most struggling communities.

Islands in the Caribbean

As a Chicago Southside resident, I experience the crisis of urban youth through the gang violence and deaths. I  hear the gunshots and watch the funeral processions. I view Atlantic Impact as a vehicle of change. The educational opportunities are critical to changing all of our futures. Atlantic Impact's mission benefits society as a whole.

My personal travel experiences as expat abroad with my family included birthing, raising, living and travel to France, Belgium, Venezuela, Argentina and Turkey. We were blessed to raise our children with a global viewpoint. I am advocate for global education. At one time I created a French and Spanish language camp for children which developed a global mindset for youth. I also taught an after school language program in private and public schools. I know firsthand the opportunities that are open to youth when they receive a cultural global education.

Please join this fundraiser as a team member or a make a donation of minimum $10 to $20. As a contributing member of this blogger challenge, you will give a Detroit student the opportunity to experience a life beyond violence and come back to change their community. You will also help me to connect and guide a group of Detroit students through their first international trip to Barbados in 2014.

Warmest Regards,

Janice Temple

National Restaurant Association Show Gluten Free Top Trend

Certified Gluten-Free

The top trend at this year's NRA National Restaurant Association Show is Gluten Free.

Pretezel Perfections Chiplote BBQ Pretzel Sticks

Tias Bakery Gluten Free Cakes

Rich's Gluten- Free Fudge Brownie

Crepes made from Deya's Gluten-Free Flour

RP Pasta Gluten Free Macaroni

Avocado Edamame Wrap Vegan Recipe


My favorite section was the Alternative Bitestyle featuring Healthier KIDSFare.

I loved this recipe for Avocado Edamame Vegan Wrap.

All the Gluten-Free samples were delicious. I was unable to discern by flavor, gluten-free products from non gluten-free products. I was not expecting the gluten-free samples to have any flavor. I was pleasantly surprised by what I experienced in terms of taste.

I think that restaurants offering gluten-free products to their gluten allergy customers will continue to grow. One Chicago restaurant, Home Run Inn Pizza offers Gluten-Free Pizza Crust. However, Chicago Home Run Inn has a disclaimer that their kitchen facility is not a Gluten-Free Kitchen. In order for a restaurant to offer completely gluten-free meals it must have a separate kitchen where gluten free products are prepared for customers. Essentially restaurants would be required to have two separate kitchen or not serve any gluten food at all in order to be certified gluten-free.  It is interesting to note that Chicago Home Run Inn Pizza is attempting to appeal to the children and adults with gluten allergies.
