(58,066 posts)but I was afraid to fly. I was 62. AAA was offering a tour visiting all the National Parks from Denver to the Grand Canyon then south to the Mexican Border. AZ, NM. Utah, Colorado,NV. I had never went on a plane before and guess what I went by myself. I loved it , I told the attendant and they gave me a wing pin that they give kids, HAHAHHAHAHA, The flight took 8 hrs from Pittsburgh to Denver. I so enjoyed it. I didn't get sick or freak out. I had a window seat and was in awe as the plane rose up. It is a felling I can't really describe. It was like being in heaven. I was not in first class. But I know you have to get up and walk every so often. You will love it.When I came home my husband asked me about the take off and landing. He traveled a lot and hated those two times. Me , I love the thrill of the plane going faster and faster until it rose from the ground. Being in the air is like sitting in your living room. --very calm. After that I was no longer afraid to fly and went to Ireland and Scotland. Ask you doctor. if he can give you something to calm your nerves. I used it on the one flight there and didn't use the other on the flight back . I wish you luck. After that I realized that I had missed so many things by being afraid of flying as my husband worked for the Fed Gov. and travelled all over. Do it kimbutgar. you will love it.
