I have been scared of flying for a while. Not a little scared…a lot scared. If I travel with Fabio, I grab his arm whenever there is a little wind. If I am alone, I grab the arm of the stranger sitting next to me.
Fabio has suggested 2 different rounds of psychiatric drugs for me to take on the airplane…neither of which has had much effect.
Today, on the flight from Rome to Paris, I had a glass of wine.
I felt fantastic! I could almost have a normal conversation with Fabio, and I noly touched him lightly when there was wind. He did not leave the plane with a blue arm.
I am not sure what to do for tomorrow’s flight from Paris to Chicago. I can’t be drunk for 9 hours. Also…the plane takes off in the morning. Can I do wine for breakfast?
I’m going to try the drugs once more.
I will be happiest tomrrow afternoon, when I have 2 feet on solid ground in Chicago.
Maybe I’ll have a drink upon landing.
drink champagne at take off. its gbood in the morning
Have you tried Dramamine? You might sleep through much of it, but that might be OK, too!
