I Flew, I Flew - from FLA to CA and back!!!

[Southern_Belle]

Hi all,

I did it! Boy are my arms tired... lol I faced my fears head on. The first flight was good. The second flight I couldn't even sit next to my husband and it was a small plane so that was scary. Flying back was not as smooth. The second plane back made funny noises and even my husband was worried but I didn't panic or make a scene. I just had heart flips. [Sigh...] But, I am back alive and well. I know I had to get on that plane for my sanity and I did it, don't want to do it again anytime soon but will again. I know now that I am stronger than this fear and it will not beat me. This does not mean that I do not still have it, just that I win. Nice huh!

I want to thank everyone who helped me get on that flight, you will never know how close I was to not going, my husband also thanks you as well. We had a great time.

A HUGE well done to you Laura.

I completely understand how hard this was for you as I too am PETRIFIED of flying yet I force myself to do it every year as my mum lives in Spain and although I know that I will always have some degree of fear with flying, I also know that avoidance will only make it worse. So Laura again congratulations: you've made a huge leap

Rhett, As always thanks for your help and humour.

Shiv, Yes I was scared to death but faced the fear and I know you can too. Thanks for your kind words.

[Coni]

Thanks Bel,

I may just take your up on that offer....dont know why I go on holiday, always seems like a good idea at the time though!

Well done to you!!! You sound so relieved & happy with yourself - and you should be!!! I know how you feel Coni ....I've got to face a 9hr flight in 4 wks. I don't know how many times I've thought about not going - but I don't want to miss out on a great holiday - don't want to let it beat me. So, you are also my inspiration - will think about you & all the others who keep on getting on a plane even though you are terrified to do it.

[Southern_Belle]

Coni, I know what you mean, when I said I would go on this trip I thought it was a great idea, away from the kids and all - no housework, no laundry!!! Then as it got closer the worrying began. But and this is a big BUT, you will be so proud of yourself once you do it. You are bigger than the fear.

Panic, The above goes for you too. I flew to England but was so doped up I could hardly walk, this time I wasn't. I know you will enjoy your holiday. Ya'll are also my inspiration too. Have a good time.

Remember, pm me if you want to.
