Right now I am on the spanish island Mallorca. I just love it here. The atmosphere, the beaches, the weather - Almost everything about Mallorca is great. The only downside is that hardly any locals speak english. You would of thought they did when it's such a tourist hotspot, huh?
Anyway, I'm enjoying my summerholiday .. But I'm sure it'll be over before I know it.
I discovered something today .. I mean, anybody who knows me, knows that I'm terrified of flying.. But I'm actually not that bad anymore. When I was flying down here, I didn't think a whole lot about it. Just sat back, relaxed and watched some Sex and the City on my Mac. Usually under take-off, I would sit and hold tightly on to both armrests, while looking alternately out of the window, and at other people + stewardesses (just to see their reaction). Then under the trip, I would stare out of the window, and then look at the stewardesses every time I felt something I didn't think was right, or heard noises - When I flew to Cape Town 2 years ago, I did nothing but sit nervously and look out of the window the entire 12 hours it took. Landing I won't even mention. I know, I am terrible. But I mean, it's about time I overcome my fear .. I fly so often, that I have about 3 frequent flyer cards.
Fear of flying is a strange thing. Cause even though planecrashes are so rare when you think of the statistics, and the amount of planes taking off/landing every single day, you can't help but feel so helpless when you're suspended in a metal tube, 36 thousand feet in the air.
I guess you either are, or aren't afraid .. or what?
