Im starting to have second thoughts about my

HM. We are going to Hawaii and Im not big on flying for long hours.

Coming back seems very long on the plane. We also got a lay over to break up the time.

But coming back I know because of the time difference is very long.

My dad is like just have a drink and relax. But I don't know......

Dont worry its not THAT bad. On the way there you will not even feel the length of the flight b/c it goes by quickly. On the way back yes it is longer not b/c of the time change but because the plane is going against time and the wind. However, you will have an amazing time! Itll totally be worth it!

Date Twin!!! We are going to Hawaii too, and I am a horrible flier (crying, etc.)!!!! I usually get some xanax from the dr. to fly. I hate the thought of such a long flight, but know that I will probably never again have the opportunity to go to Hawaii! If I can do it, you can do it!!!! Good luck and aloha!

Then we need to do the whole thing on the way back, however instead of flying back to NY were flying back to Cali, another 3,000 miles extra

Holy hell! But you know..the Maldives are supposed to amazing! It's going to be so worth it! We considered the same destination for our honeymoon but I'm obsessed with Asia so we chose Thailand instead! I can't wait to see your honeymoon review (if you do one!) to give us some ideas for our 1 year anniversary trip!

So you ladies are flying for a long time also. This is a first for me. I usually only fly 3-5 hours.
Tell me more about this drug I should get and what will it do to me...

Well i fly alot but i never need to take drugs. I do fine on long flights. If you get stressed out on planes maybe you should ask your doc for Ambien like mentioned above. Itll put you straight to sleep and youll wake up when you get there.

I will have to check this out and also find out about the side effects.

Maybe you can take a tylenol PM. That usually puts me out.. Don't worry it will be fine.

I fly a lot too , but unfortunately hate it! If it's a flight longer then say 6 hours I take a sleeping pill (ambien). It keeps me from getting antsy or claustrophobic and makes the time go much faster! Talk to your doctor about your concerns and I'm sure she/he can give you something that will work like a charm! One word of advice...make sure you test it before the flight. You wouldn't want a bad reaction occurring at 35, 000 feet

Re: Im starting to have second thoughts about my

I thought the same thing. I went to Hawaii this past February and it was soooo worth it!! We also had a layover in between to break it up!!! You can also take benadryl on th flight to relax you and make you sleep!!!
