Congrats and welcome back! Sounds like you went about learning the best way- with someone elses plane

JK, I mean with an instructor-
Sounds like you are a quick study though... I have never had a student land on his fist day, so attaboy!
Just remember the pre-flight, every flight make it a ritual! Many a beginner (and expert actually-) lands, gets excited, shoots the breeze for awhile, then takes off again without having re-fueled! [X(] (Just an example-)
Welcome back to the greatest hobby on Earth- and heres to 17 more years to ya'!
