Aviophobia

I recieved a message from "H" earlier today. He asked me if I can come to the Netherlands to visit him.

He and I have been friends for a really long time, but I am a little nervous about going.

At first I tried to use the excuse-

("No way! especially after seeing the movie'HOSTEL'")

I know, its a goofy lame excuse...and it made him laugh his head off.

I just don't know about traveling by plane these days.

Ever since the 9/11, I have been so skeptical about it. Especially since it happened not too long after my flight from Puerto Rico! I had even planned to go back to visit again shortly, but changed everything after all of that stuff happened with the hijackings etc...

"H" says I'm a big baby for being afraid to fly anymore. Maybe I am being one, but I can't help it. I feel the way I feel, I can't pretend!

Hes admitted hes afraid of flying to America...so it seems we are both in the same dilemma...

It would be so much different if I were born with wings on my back...
I wouldn't have a problem with flying then! It would be so easy and exciting!
I have even had dreams that I was flying over oceans and cities! Those kinds of dreams are so magical!
