Narrative:
Gear up landing. Approach to runway 18 with first time passenger who was a bit uneasy. Was explaining everything. Did a go around to avoid heavy braking possible for 18 landing, again out of courtesy to passenger. Put gear up, set up approach to 25, explained everything to passenger and failed to lower gear due to inattn. I paid too much attention to accommodating the passenger, not enough to the gumps. The gear up warning horn may have sounded. I took it to be the stall warning horn, which to me confirmed a good flair. It would be a good idea to have the 2 sound different!
