Just popped on before I go to bed.

Thanks everyone for your advice and experiences.
I am still very excited, and very determined to allay my fear of flying. Chris will disown me if I turn 'Chicken'

it's an amazing experience, I was 10 the first time I flew

Dont think much to being on the plane it's boring but love taking off and landing, especially when you come over the clouds

Hi Jenny, good for you! Have you warned Chris it will cost him a fortune to take you all the places you never dared go before lol?
Once you have done it the first time, I am sure you will get the bug!

You could get yourself some Rescue remedy drops and start taking them a few days before if you get anxious and take as many as you need on the day, better than valium etc as these are homeopathic and keep you calmer. You are allowed to carry them on board lol I asked when I went to Malta cos was tired and stressed and thought I might need them. I didn't.
Have a super time,

Hi Mau, have you been out today? The blue skies and sunshine is lovely isnt it? But I have been across the road to the elderly folks, and its absolutley freezing out there.

Neck is virtually healed now, aches a bit last thing at night though.

On take off,look up to the sky,while holding Chris's hand, and imagine the wonderful time you're going to have in Portugal!
Think positive thoughts too!

Oh Joyfull and I thought I was a nervous person. .

I dont like going on the Motorway if I can help it, and the Coast Road from Tynemouth to Newcastle is bad enough.

Have been to Amsterdam and Dublin on the Ferry, and gone through the Euro Tunnel. Easy peasy, but flying??? Will let you know how I get on.

Oh Dawnie, I am so sorry, it would have been lovely to see you again. But there will be a next time.
I will send Tiddler a photo of Jackie.

Jen, If I manage this flight, I shall be down.

Ann, its just Easy Jet. Hubby has just come back after a 4 day break with his mates and said how lovely the Algarve and the hotel was, and I think I just realised what I was missing. So said I want to go to the same place.

Ears popping - suck sweets or yawn - but not at the same time - lol
You will be fine - I have even flown on my own - in an aeroplane you understand - but not with hubby. I always hold his knee on take off and was worried I would do the same to whoever was sat next to me - luckily for the young chap I didn't. Hope you enjoy your first flight and have a good holiday
Love Mary xx
