To cheer him up I said "You know that's the part where they are trying to hit the ground?"
Landing and takeoffs don't bother me. It is the bouncing around that bothers me. I did notice the local small jet from MB to Charollotte was smooth, if the trip had been like that all the way would have no fear. But the atmosphere over the ocean, and the speed of the jumbo jets produce a bumpy ride. It was so bad for me at some points I literally thought the plane was going to flip over. I know but still, it is not a sensation can handle, no matter what they say about odds.
After I suggested this trip to John, I literally had the same sensation of falling while lying in bed, two nights no sleep. If I didn't have that anxiety I wouldn't have backed out. But again, I am still going to pay for my friend for his birthday gift if our guest over there is willing to still put him up.
