Jason-

I flew Delta down and back. How much room you have depends on the aircraft. I was on several different planes (2 connecting flights--and I live in NJ). Are you flying out of Cincinnati?I got stuck there Tuesday night, but the flights to Orlando are direct from there. On some planes, you'll have plenty of room. On others, well, I'm 5'2" and under 100 pounds, and I was squished.

July is Aerosmith month on Delta--channel 9 plays the new album in its entirety and some older big hits. I suggest listening to that to recreate the RnR experience. ;)

Just kidding. The launch is nowhere near like the beginning of RnR. And since I went on that on your suggestion, you'll have to take my word for it that flying there is the easy part!

It'll be fun. Maybe I can go back in August...

Okay. Getting a hold on myself.

:)

I'm guessing it's a direct flight from Nashville. If you booked through a travel agent, call and ask if it's a "small plane." They usually warn you in advance. I was in a plane so small in April I hit my head getting in and getting out, not an easy thing for someone my size.

If you're flying on one of the larger jets, it won't be spacious, but you won't be too cramped. I have pretty long legs for someone this small, and that's the worst of it. Of course, if I didn't put my carryon under the seat, I'd have a little more room...

:rolleyes:

Don't worry so much. It'll be fun. Just think happy Disney thoughts, and how soon you'll be at Mickey's house.

Follow standard motion sickness advice: don't drink juice (too acidic), have plenty of water because the plane will dehydrate you, and if you're worried about motion sickness drink cola or Hawaiian Punch to help settle your stomach. Try for a window seat and look at the horizon line to help keep your sense of balance and prevent motion sickness, and sleep if you can. Reading on the plane is ill-advised if you're prone to motionsickness, but honestly, if you can handle theme park rides, you can do this.

Have fun!

I always chew gum when flying. Also I say a few Hail Marys and a couple Our Fathers during take-off. Flying really isn't that bad. There is the occassional turbulence, which is usually minor. Though the worst tubulence I felt was when I was return to Charleston from Houston. It felt like we were on a roller coaster. Just remember keep the seat belt fastened at all times. You'll be fine. :)

And the golden rule: turbulences happen when the food comes. So be prepared....

If you get motion sick, there is always a little paper bag with a seal in the little pocket in the seat in front of you. Use it and then, give it to the stewardess to throw it away for you. :D ;)

ok....this is a very long thread for something this basic. If I remember my Discovery channel trivia, there are approximately, 25,000 planes in the air at any given moment. Out of those, how often do you hear of one crashing? That's some pretty good statistics if you ask me. As for the air sickness thing....don't even worry. I get sick just looking at body wars or Star Tours and I have never been sick on a plane. Rest easy, good friend, you'll be fine.

Light weight!!! The only time I've been sick on a plane was when I was sick before I got on the plane (stomach virus).

Get a grip on yourself! On the runway waiting to taxi is the worst part, but you'll like flying. Use positive language to talk to yourself about going. If you keep telling yourself you're scared, you will be. If you worry about being ill, you'll make yourself ill. If you tell yourself it's a new experience and you're looking forward to it, then it'll be a better experience. No worries!

As I remind my students, if you think you can or you think you can't, you're right.

Now, be happy about going to Mickey's house before I come down there and take your place! :)
