Hi

As some of you know, I faced one of my biggest fears more than 2 years ago by going on a plane ( to south of France )... On both flights, I used some valium, just to calm me down... didn't want to panic while in the air !
Well I ve decided to be braver this time, I have another flight next saturday ( 8th of april ) and I won't use any medication this time, what will be will be.
Just wanted to share it with you, folks.
Thanks.

Florence.
