From: V~anessa on 30 Sep 2008 09:55 I am so happy to be back. The plane trip up was much harder than I anticipated. I needed to use all my distraction tricks to get through without screaming out for help. It didn't help that we hit a fair bit of turbulence but I got through it. Taking my iPod was a great help as having songs I love really helped me. It took me a few hours to settle down afterwards but I was able to focus on my conference which helped. Catching up with old friends was great and we had a lovely Italian banquet dinner. I was really nervous this afternoon knowing I had to catch the plane back. But my boss was on the same plane so it helped chatting to him as we waited at the airport. As I went through security my shoes set off the detector equipment, which I found hilarious as I had no problem with the same shoes when I came through yesterday at Melbourne airport. That helped relax me further and I actually enjoyed the plane trip back home (except for a bumpy take-off) and even managed to sneak a look out the window as we were coming down to land. Boy, it was great to be back home. Thanks to everyone who wished me luck. Even though I'm so much stronger and in control of my anxiety, plane trips are always hard for me.

It so nice to hear that you enjoyed your trip! I knew you'd get through it. :~) Turbulence on a plane always gives me the jitters, too. That's understandable. Welcome back and I'm glad you're home! kili -- ========== Please DELETE this text block when replying! ========== Contact the moderators at: asapm-board(a)stump.algebra.com The charter is available at: http://readystump.algebra.com/~asapm ========= This notice is added to each approved article ==========
From: Franziska Beckmann on 30 Sep 2008 15:09 Hi Vanessa, Flying is one of my worst fears - right now, it�s beyond my limits to go on a plane - so I think what you did is really, really brave! :-) Also I can relate to what you wrote about the moment when you were able to "sneak a look out the window" during landing...whenever I was finally able to look out the window (usually about two minutes before touchdown ;-)), I felt so proud that I used to make quite a show of it :-). I hope you have the time now to relax a bit, and "revel" in what you have achieved.
