after 22 flights tone way of making steady progress In overcoming fear or at least concealing it a little better these two flight have really set me back I ve heard the ma larky about being safer than driving I not convinced At least when I driving I nave a modicum of control over the situation Flying I put my trust In someone I never met and don t know I have a question about flying too I don know if It just my luck or If other have had this experience as consistently as I have over Ihe years It seems to me Ihe smoothest light can be disrupted with bouncing and weaving sometimes a lot sometimes not much by the serving of meal Every time when the food comes out the planes hit turbulence I start feeling awful and usually don finish In fact I wouldn even start except it gives you something to do on a long trip Anyway if you ever happen to meet me at the airport going out and so happen to be going on the same flight he forewarned Don I decide to take the seat beside a familiar face Helen says flying with me is no picnic
