So apparently there's this really nice place called Hawaii

And my husbands grand parents go there every year, even twice a year.

And for Christmas, the family decided we should all go! *gulp*

Now as a quick google search will show most people, it's beautiful and well worth the trip.

But the preferred method of getting there is in these things.

Well I guess I could say I'm not the biggest fan of them.

Because of derps like this.

And so, because his grand parents are great people I decided, after much debate, that I would go. I know it's a trip that will be amazing. But that doesn't mean I'm not apprehensive about the flight still.

Before I go to the doctors for sedatives of some sort, I want to try and mentally prepare myself. I'm a big believer that it's a mental thing, and with work my mind can be calmed.

And so after much reading up on how planes fly, how they work, crash rates/statistics, the people who fly/attend them, the people in the control towers, as well as reading on how to control your fear, I've taken time to go to the airport and watch the flights take off and be in that sort of environment. But I still get flutters.

I guess I'm just looking to see what others might have as tricks to stay calm and how you might work through your fear of flying (or any other fears).
