Christmas is over, there’s snow on the ground, and its COLD. What's a family to do? Daddy suggests they all go … to the beach? "Daddy, are you being silly?" asks Sylvia. It turns out that Daddy isn't being silly at all: he has made plans for them all to travel to Florida to visit Granny! And this year, Daddy tells them excitedly, they are taking an airplane. Martin can't wait, but Sylvia hesitates. Long hours of sitting still don’t sound like fun for her. But when it is time, she is surprised at what sort of magic is possible in a ticket line, an airport terminal and indeed, on a plane ride.
