I went to the USA alone for a west coast trip when I was 25. Now that I'm 45 I can already get nervous when I am planning a walk where I have to park my car, take a bus and walk back. When did I get such a scary person? Anyway long story short: I get you.<br /><br />Safe travels Char.Franhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10287705328335828286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-770104768123714471.post-34092816134452530392014-04-01T03:43:31.518-07:002014-04-01T03:43:31.518-07:00Is it just plane travel, or do you hate travelling...Is it just plane travel, or do you hate travelling alone by any means? I love being alone and travelling alone - any peace and quiet is a luxury for me.

Or at least fun sized candybars, which are less likely to get squished in transit.<br /><br />Alternatively, make it your business to take care of Elio, whether he needs it or not. Somehow, having someone else depend on me makes me totally unable to remember that I'm also nervous/scared/worried/etc.<br /><br />Seriously, though - running teammates see each other through anxiety and GI issues all the time, right? [Running and flying aren't that different after all.] So...it sounds like they'll make the PERFECT travel companions! :)Holly @ Run With Hollyhttp://www.runwithholly.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-770104768123714471.post-78850224398056004412014-03-30T22:52:18.044-07:002014-03-30T22:52:18.044-07:00With that said I take it you are not going to be f...With that said I take it you are not going to be flying over to Africa for a race any time soon...?<br /><br />you did fine last time you flew, you will do fine again, and even better.

Bring lots of cupcakes to hand out to strangers who help you and there will be no problem at all.
