Of Fears, Phobias, and Wings

So Friday, I’m flying for the first time. The first time since 1993.

Why have I not flown in so long? Simple, I let it terrify me.

I can’t live with such limitations for life. How many fun opportunities have I passed up before because of this fear? I’ve lost count. But now, one of Crista’s best friends is getting married in Oklahoma City this Saturday. I certainly don’t want to ditch out on that.

So I had my first travelocity experience. Car, planes, hotel, all supposedly lined up. I don’t worry about any of that. Just about being in the air. I think I can handle it this time. I’m older, and in far better control of my emotions.

Plus, I bought a PSP to distract myself.

Fingers crossed.

    Last year I flew for the fist time since 1987. It was weird at first but I got used to it quickly. But it was a short flight. I’ve flown quite a bit since then and I’m becoming a pro.

    Good for you. At least you can be sure there won’t be any extra turbulence from passengers flying the plane.
