Anxiety & Airports Totally Go Together, Right?

I haven't been in an airport in nearly fourteen years.

Not that I was a frequent flyer or anything because counting today I will have flown 3 times (round trip)

I will be going to New York City for a Unilever event with The Family Dish gals.

I thought my heart was going to beat right out if my chest when I was waiting to check in.

The gal from American seemed to sense my stress and told me that it's really not too bad and I should just breeze through everything.

I could feel my anxiety build as I handed my luggage to the security guys.


I was physically shaking when I went through the security checkpoint and was relieved to not need a pat down.

As I sit here people watching and waiting for boarding to start I finally have a calm about me.

A peace in which I know that everything should be okay.

Although I did have a crazy dream about getting in trouble with an Air Marshall over a Fruit Roll Up. It was crazy and unbelievable and he wasn't wearing pants.

So if there is a pantless Air Marshall named Dave, I am so outta there.

I'm going to agree with your gut instinct to flee from pants-less air marshals!

Have fun in NY, and do stay away from the pants-less in general! Could you knit on the plane? I hope so!

Have fun! I love flying but my husband is terrified of it, so I go through it with him all the time. It gets better with experience, trust me :)

Flying in general always makes me nervous. I hate flying and always thank every unseen force when we touch down and get off the plane.

I'll be on a plane again in October, and I'm already feeling sick at the thought. Glad you made it there without any problems!

I am always a bundle of anxiety when I have to fly. Highly medicated. And I want to see the world. How is that gonna happen? Lots of Xanax I guess!
Are you coming to Type A also?
