BANNED FOR NOT MAILING PRODUCTS PURCHASED | never been in a airplane before!! My aunt is a auditor for a big Orthopedic company here in my town and she travels ALOT, well last week she asked me to go on a trip with her to Virgina. It would only be 3 days but I have never flown before in my life. It would be on the company jet and she has assured me it's very safe!! I would have to leave Lillie for 3 days! I don't know what to do, I'm scared but I want to go. It would only cost me $10 to go and then if I wanted to take any money along, but the hotel and food would all be furnished. Keep in mind I deal with anxiety |

| You should DEFINATELY go!!!!!!!!!!! You shouldn't pass up such a wonderful opportunity. Just talk to your dr. and get some meds before the plane ride for your anxiety. My friend's parents own a jet, but she is deathly affraid of flying and also deals with anxiety. Her family always takes lavish vacations, so she has no choice but to fly if she wants to go with them. So, she takes a Zanex (sp?) before the flight and she is fine! You will have the BEST time! You definately need to go! Remember, it is more likely that you'll die in a car wreck on the way to the airport than you'll die in a plane crash. |

| I have only flown once, and I was very afraid. My mom paid for me and my fiance to go to Cancun for our graduation present. She dropped us off at the airport and there we went on our own. LOL! It was an experience that I will never forget. I cried like a baby. But once I got on the plane, I was fine. It really wasnt bad, you will be fine

| I say GO! What a great deal!! I have horrible anxiety, especially plane anxiety!! We travel a lot, and a matter of fact I am flying tomorrow, AND it is always worth just doing it. I suggest if you are on meds for anxiety take them before, if not just remember to bring mags and or books to keep your mind occupied. If you decide to go have fun! |

| I used to freak out about flying until recently. Just relax and think that you're in the hands of a trained, experienced pilot. My sister dated a pilot recently who said they learn to fly with only one engine and most commercial planes (not sure what the company jet is, though) are double engines so one engine could completely fail and the pilot would be fine. It feels a little bit like being on a roller coaster... just expect it and don't worry. Also, expect a noise when the wheels go into the plane after take-off. That really scared me the first time I flew... it was absolutely nothing! Take a couple of deep breaths and you will be fine. Have a great trip- take advantage of this great opportunity! |

| Does lilly help you with your anxiety? Is there anyway you could take her to help you?. I am sure the trip would be so much fun. But if it makes you sick than that would be sad.

| Well, you gotta do everything once! I would defiantely go, it sounds like such a good time. And at least you get to go WITH someone. the first time I was on a plane was from SLT to CHI by myself headed to boot camp! I don't know if I was more nervous about the plane or boot camp! LOL. You will be fine though, you might even enjoy it, my mother loves to fly. |

| Go! Go! Go! You'll be safer on a company jet than on a commercial flight anyway! Might as well experience it once!
