Last flight was a ridiculously turbulent bout from Reno to Vegas, and I was a stupid mess. Since then, a dear friend lost her mom (pilot) in a plane crash. I simply don't think it will ever get easier for me, as others have said, the fear grows astronomically as I get older. Ughhh. <br /><br />Also, I'm afraid of dying in general...so there's that too:) Ella Beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08069112652488786995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-30476781933159190502014-07-21T21:15:18.297-07:002014-07-21T21:15:18.297-07:00No, but then I don't fly much anyway (I've...No, but then I don't fly much anyway (I've only flown once since 9/11 and that was one time too many).Erikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08705965761322173957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-29129252670131673072014-07-21T17:03:18.648-07:002014-07-21T17:03:18.648-07:00Probably not flying Malaysian Airlines any time so...Probably not flying Malaysian Airlines any time soon.

I couldn't sleep, the rocking of the ship made me sick, we were in the cheap cabin with no window and I have horrific claustrophobia...the food was good though even though we never ate a buffet, just walked through to see them. We ate all our meals in the dining room, my mother thought it would avoid food poisoning. We didn't get sick so maybe it worked. Where did you go?
