The airplane Blake is on is about ready to land in New York. His aunt and grandmother, on the seats next
to him, gather their bags in preparation to get off the plane. They plan to visit Ellis Island, where his
great-grandfather's name, Rocko Garoni, is inscribed on the Wall of Honor. Rocko immigrated to the
United States from Italy in 1920. He was 16 and came across the ocean all alone to try to find a better life
and earn money to send back to his family.

The plane trip took five hours, because they flew from Utah to New York. It wasn't too bad because he
could read, watch TV or listen to music in his seat, but it was nice to get up to stretch his legs.

As they got off the plane, Blake and his aunt talked about what they should do first. They needed to
check into their hotel room, of course, but after that they wanted to visit the Statue of Liberty and maybe
try to climb the stairs up to the crown. It was 354 steps, but he wanted to try to do it and his aunt said
she would try as well. They planned to go to Ellis Island the next morning.
