Vodka?



Seriously - take some Dramamine (but do NOT get the "non-drowsy" kind). You may not get airsick, but the barbiturates in it will keep you calm.

Stop thinking about it. You'll only make it worse. Distract yourself by keeping busy, or reading, whatever takes your mind off of it.

And, ginger. It really does help settle your stomach. Real ginger, though, not just flavored stuff. Ginger People chews are good, and there's a ginger gum that's pretty strong.

NY

Oh how COOL! Gonna go site seeing? Visiting Friends?

Don't forget your camera... Make a list! all the things you need to take/pack...

Don't forget your ID! Make sure you are at the airport 1 hour before take off...

Don't forget to set your Alarm Clock! Just relax! Everything will be Just fine!

I have to travel alone too next Wednesday...

Travelling alone rocks. I've been to Hong Kong alone and am off to Japan at the end of the month alone.

No one to stress you out, you only worry about yourself. On a load of my flights (I flew onto Oz alone, though I was meeting people there) I got a row to myself. I zip through check in and security.

And once you're there, your itinerary, your time. It's excellent.

You've been to Oz?



(Madhat- buy a pack of gum. Chew a piece during takeoff and landing. Bonus points for blowing bubbles).

Meditate, dear. It helped me from ralphing on a flight. You'll be fine. :)

If you're worried about oversleeping and missing your flight, have someone phone you early in the morning to make sure you are indeed awake and haven't missed your alarm. Heck, I'll even phone you, since I have to be up at an ungodly hour tomorrow!

I find that when I'm nervous before an important flight, like one to a job interview or something, I give myself ample time to get to the airport, to navigate the airport (if it's a big one), etc. It's much easier to chill on a comfy chair by the gate with a book than to be frantically dashing about the city and through the airport, though I do this to myself more often than I'd like :)

I much prefer travelling alone to travelling with someone. It's just so much easier to worry about myself and that's it. Nobody else to stress me out, or bug me. Just me. It's awesome.

Yeah, but it didn't look like that....

Instead of munch-kins, it was full of Irish people who you could spot a mile off by their pale skin. And there were a lot of weird animals. Not lions or tigers or bears, oh my, but koalas and kookaburras and cockatoos.

Arg.

My boss wants me to send him things in Word. All I *ever* send him things in is Word.

...someone is an idiot.

Don't work and plime at the same time. I just answered the phone "Thanks for calling abandonedcou-CRAP I mean Signature Portraits."

Listen to music
Look for a good book to read on the plane
Think about all the great things you're going to do - focus on the destination, not the trip

If that doesn't work, drugging yourself silly might, but that's not a good idea. You know I'm joking.

Ah Come on, Suebe... you KNOW drugging yourself silly is the ONLY way to spend a trans-atlantic flight...

I know she is only going to New York, but still... offer all suggestions, will ya!?

Drink white zinfandel all day before the flight, buy several buckets of fresh strawberries, eat strawberries, then distribute leftover strawberries to other people at the airport. Yeah, I did this once in LAX.

This is why I love you guys. :-P.

This is probably going to be the easiest flight ever now. Thanks guys.

On a side note: Just got back from the Thrift Store and bought Plime underwear. Maybe I'll post a pic of it on here lol.

doo eet!

i'm so boreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeedddddddddddd

Then you should come visit more often!!
