\"Girl_Sipping_Coffee_Waiting_in_Airport\"<\/a>No matter how many times I do it, or where I’m ultimately going to end up – I never quite<\/em> get used to flying. I mean, it’s unnatural really – when you think about it; a few hundred people crammed into a metal tube and shot across the sky like a high speed projectile flung out of a cannon…it’s a little bit scary really…<\/p>\n

So I try not to think about it.<\/p>\n

My father says the only way I’ll ever get over being a nervous flier is to actually learn to fly (as in actually fly a plane) to which I say HA! I’ll leave that kind of thing to him and my Mum, who both got their private pilot’s licenses before I was born…I attempt to keep my feet firmly planted on the ground unless absolutely necessary…or unless the Lady suddenly grants me wings overnight..<\/p>\n

That would be cool…<\/p>\n

Anyway, I’m off on a tangent again…<\/p>\n

I also didn’t realize just used to traveling on my own I’d become. When I travel for work (which is all the time)<\/span>, I’m quite an isolated creature. I keep myself to myself. It’s been a long time since I boarded a plane without a contract in my hand, and even longer since I knew the person sitting next to me!<\/p>\n

It feels…somewhat unusual. Brilliant, but unusual…<\/p>\n

Even though we’re safely ensconced in the hotel now (which is really more of a small apartment than a hotel room) – a large part of me still won’t believe it until I’m actually standing in front of those gates…and, as I said to Amras last night:<\/p>\n

I’ll cry at the gates…<\/em><\/p>\n

Relief?<\/em><\/p>\n

No…Joy.<\/em><\/p>\n
