Phobias, phobias, and more phobias

On Saturday, I'm taking a flight to Hawaii which is around 5 hours. I've always been a little afraid of flying, not because I'm afraid of crashing, but just what it entails. A small space, up in the air, and the smell of an airplane. It gives me great anxiety. On top of that I get nauseous really easily so that really adds to my  fear of flying.

To combat my fear of nausea, I bought Dramamine which is an anti nausea medicine. Asides from that, I'm totally unprepared. What to do for 5 hours?

It is an early flight, so I figured the night before, I'll sleep late, wake up early, be super tired, and have no choice but to fall asleep. Unfortunately, I don't fall asleep that easily on planes. Hopefully I can this time though. To help me fall asleep, definitely listening to some cool jazz (my friend gave me like 100+ jazz songs, so going to help me sleep!)

Other than that, no clue. Maybe bring a notebook to write in (always calms me down, kind of like blogging), bring Seinfeld and Clueless (?) I want a light hearted movie. I'll go to the library and see which one looks good. I can't forget to bring gum too-it's a huge stress reliever for me. Don't know why, I just know it is.

So here's the break down for time:

-Sleep (1-2hr-->1.5 hrs)
-Seinfeld (45 min)
-Movie (1 hr 45 min)
-Write in notebook (30 min-45 min)

Altogether that's about 4.5 hours. Now if that actually works out, that would be great. Also, time for eating must be taken into account.

Wish me luck! I'm bringing my laptop to Hawaii, so hopefully when I get downtime I can update you all about how my life is =) I hope all is well with you and I'm truly sorry for not blogging more. I promise I will blog as often as I can. I'm aiming for every day, every other day, or every two days!

So long,

GJW
