I love flying! Feeling the wind rushing past your body and great views, much better than walking.

If I were flying it'd be another story. It's a combination of the lack of control and the height. I just hate being 30,000 feet up waiting 10 hours for my death cylinder to plummet to the ground. Fortunately I'm not going on an American airline so it might be a half-way decent flight.

so where are you going?

I don't mind flying. I do hate ascending and descending. Descending is the worst part of it. It's also the part that makes my kids vomit. Doubly nerve wracking.

Turkey. Then finding a place to stay in Turkey for a few days and meet up with some other people who are also in my group that's going to Bosnia. Realistically, taking long train from Turkey to Bosnia is much more dangerous than flying but that doesn't really bother me at all. The flight does. I don't get in a panic or anything but I'm just going to be tense and apprehensive for 10 hours.

That's a legitimate fear. Thankfully, my viscerally anti-Kurdish publications should keep me in the good graces of the Turkish authorities.

I'm hoping to start using alcohol to attain this attitude. Not a good idea for a flight going into Turkey. But domestically, at least.

My daughter is about to take her seventh trip to Texas in 27 months. I sure hope she doesn't develop a fear of flying.

I used to have it too.
