I don't want to take a honeymoon because I am TERRIFIED to fly!!! I suggested a cruise but got vetoed by FH. FH really wants to go to Aruba and I am psyched about it too. However, when I was looking at the beach in Aruba, I saw the airport runway in the background and I actually thought...'I can't wait to be leaving Aruba because the flight anxiety will be almost over!!' And I refuse to take drugs because I am paranoid that they may impede me should I need to move quickly!! Seriously...I know....I'm crazy!

Re: 800th post and I've got a secret...
congrats on 800 ... and i am scared to fly too ... but i want to go away and i'm willing to fly for hours to get there .... my theory is if its a long flight i just will try not to sleep that much the night before so i can sleep on the plane!!!

Don't worry. You will be fine. My mom took valium(not sure if I am spelling it right) because she is soooooo terrified of flying. It was actually really funny. She started laughing. :) The flight will be over before you know it.

There is nothing is be afraid of. Just think that you will be lying on the beach in the hot sun and having a good time with your FH. Aruba is like 2 hours right, that is nothing every summer I go to Europe and its like 10 hours, hahahah.

Re: 800th post and I've got a secret...
Last year, FH's stepmom passed away very suddenly and due to my job, we had to fly to Palm Beach on like a 7am flight and fly home the same day on a 10pm flight. I knew only the day before I would be going, so I too stayed up all night so I would sleep on the plane....it's just such a scary feeling!!

Don't worry about the flight to aruba its only like 3-4 hours so its not too bad. Get on board, put on your ipod and take a nap...it won't be bad. Why dont you try to practice flying by taking a couple of short trips. Fly to Boston its only like a 30-45 minute flight and if you fly Jet Blue its not a puddle jumper plane. Good luck!!

I didn't get on an airplane until about 2 years ago. I was always scared to fly. I went with my parents my first time. Now I love to fly

Re: 800th post and I've got a secret...
you're definitely not crazy, it's a very common fear! But they do say the best way to get over your fear is to go out and do it! Aruba can be a long flight if you go non stop, maybe you can take a smaller trip before that just so your first time on a plan isn't a 5 hour trip!
