I flew to Walt Disney World 3 weeks after 9/11.
We had already made the reservations and paid for the trip and airfare so we bit the bullet, said a little prayer, and flew.
It was very theraputic and although the armed Army guards at the Airports were a little intimidating, I'm glad we did it.
It's like they say...if you fall off your horse, you should get right back on it and ride.
I feel safer now at airports and on airplanes than ever before.
22 hour drive versus a 2 hour flight help keep me flying as well. I'd hate to spend 4 days of my 7 day vacation just getting there and coming home.
I'm still not crazy about landings...but I will fly take flying every time over a 22 hour each way car trip. ::cringe::
If claustrophobia is your problem...I'm sure your family Physician can perscribe something for you.
Enjoy your vacation!! :sohappy:
