Congrats on your SOLO. I did mine on the 13th of this month and finally got to go up by myself again yesterday for the first time since. I ended up going the wrong way in the pattern (luckily there was no one around). I noticed on my downwind when none of my marks looked familiar. I noticed I wasn't as crisp as I was on my solo. Maybe because so much time had passed.
Your first trip to your "practice area" will be one to remember too. I spent 2 hours just doing turn after turn. Taking it ALL in. That was true freedom and I fell in love with flying all over again.
Flying is much cheaper without an instructor tagging along.
I would also like to thank all the regulars for sharing their knowledge and making us newbies feel at home.
Congrats again!
Rob
