I was the passenger from hell. I was flying from Texas to MD with my 2 month old son. I knew I did not fly well and had asked the doctor what I could take as I was nursing. He said it was quick flight and I would be fine. WRONG!! I had to take […]

Years ago on a flight from Chicago to Moscow, I flew the Russian airline in an attempt for not only cost savings, but to have the ill-thought thorough “authenticity” of my Russian experience. Over the next 12 hours I settled in at the back of the plane to try to get some sleep to try to dwindle down the […]

In 2006 my now-husband and I were flying from Dallas to Vegas. Since my “spare plane out back” adventure in 2002 I have become increasingly afraid of flying, to the point where now I’m nearly crippled with fear. But I’m on this full plane to Vegas going over the mountains on approach. The turbulence is […]

A few months ago I was on a flight with my elderly mother from Delhi India to Agra India, home of the Taj Mahal. To begin with, our flight was delayed 5 hours due to dust storms. We waited all day at the airport and finally boarded a tiny Kingfisher Airlines propeller plane. The flight took […]

So here I am newly married whisking my new bride off to beautiful northern Japan where I am stationed. The take off out of DFW was uneventful. Then as we headed northwest the air turbulence began. I assured my new bride that this was to be expected and as a world traveler I knew it […]
