My family moved to Rosario, Argentina when I was 16. I completed my last year of high school there and returned, at age 17, to the United States. The flight was aboard a Braniff 707, and it was my first solo flight.

I remember the older Italian-ancestry couple in the seat behind me who were going to Houston so he could have heart surgery. They were very friendly, and I remember thinking it odd that people would travel so far just for medical treatment.

The first thing I did upon arrival in Miami was to seek out a hamburger and some peanut butter, neither of which was available in Argentina
