Fear of Flying

So in only 7 1/2 hours, my entire family will be in a plane flying for 4 hours to California. And while outwardly I must act as though it's exciting to fly in an airplane (for the kids), I'm actually terrified. It's a common irrational fear, I know, but still... I really have to put my trust in the folks up front - people I've never met. Did I mention I cringe at every bit of turbulence? I just hope that my kids do okay, cuz that would make it even more difficult. At least on the way over we have the expectation of seeing Grandma and Grandpa, family and friends. The flight home certainly won't have the same appeal. I will let you know how it goes.

Pray for us! :)

And for those of you who are frequent flyers, go easy on those of us who still grab the arms of our seats and tense up at every perceptible movement of the plane!

I will try my best to relax - my promise to myself. Maybe I saw one too many plane crashing movies for my own good... Darn Hollywood!

Came across your blog randomly. Just wanted to say that I fly with my own children quite a bit and it is always an experience. You gotta love the planes with the TV's right on the back of the seat in front of you. Makes the time go so much faster!
