What makes flying fun for you? I get so bored just staring out the window or trying to sleep. I can't read because it makes me sick and I feel weird talking to H with so many people around to hear. I always hope for a movie, even if it's super lame like the Spy Kids movies (for some reason, I've seen 3 of them on planes, apparently they are the go-to movies).

I have never flown nor has DH. We are going to be the blind leading the blind. I have never even set foot in an air port. I have no idea what to expect I think that is why I am a little nervous. It's a short fight like 3 hrs or something like that. I'm not afraid of heights or any thing I think I am more afraid of experiencing something new.

Well, first...make sure you have your license and ticket out and ready. Computers must be taken out of the case. Don't keep anything in your pockets, like your cell phone. Take your baggie of liquids out of the bag. I always wear shoes that slip on and off really easy, because you have to remove them. I also take off my belt and wear the least amount of jewelry possible.

Plan to get there early and sure all your electronic devices are charged. I find my terminal and gate first thing and then find a coffee somewhere nearby. Bring something to read.

I also take 2 Tylenol an hour before my flight because otherwise my ears hurt. I like to sip water to keep swallowing and chew gum to help regulate my ears. You can buy water after you pass security. 

I like to get magazines before my flight, so I spend my flight reading. I also bring my Kindle and iPad, so I can read books and play on my iPad or watch movies. 

I love to travel, so flying is fun for me Keep your stuff nearby, like your purse and such. Also, I'm social, so I like to talk to people. You can have some really interesting conversations!
