Took me about 25 hrs to go solo too.
That first flight solo was great! Forgot all about the silly checks, out came the digital camera and I took various self portraits from around the circuit. Next solo, during the "hour building" phase I went flying up and down Long Beach in california with the camera out enjoying the view....
Ignorance is bliss, now I find I am constantly looking for a place to land or other traffic or expecting the engine to fail at any moment....
