But once out there, even when thing don't go to plan, you're able to deal with it :)Kim Ayreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02656677501116622953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15322620.post-70273317806330553822013-11-26T21:47:14.805+00:002013-11-26T21:47:14.805+00:00Sorry, that should say had NOT got my EH1CSorry, that should say had NOT got my EH1CBrindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17365565694163030828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15322620.post-6004640593639509192013-11-26T21:46:06.690+00:002013-11-26T21:46:06.690+00:00I'm just back from Malta, which is when I real...I'm just back from Malta, which is when I realised I had got my EH1C. I've yet to decide where my next trip abroad will be, I fancy one of the Scandanavian countries as I have never been and I think the scenery will be stunning. I'm trying to visit a new country each year but as it gets nearer to travel the anxiety kicks in and I worry that it won't be many more trips before I shy away from going abroad altogether. When I'm on the plane I'm fine, it's getting to that stage that's the issue...

We carpooled the 2 hours to the beach but I swear, with all the drama some of these folks bring with them to be center of the universe...I almost wish we'd had security to at least frisk them and slow them down a bit. :)<br /><br />Hope you enjoyed your trip.

The perfect storm for terrific blog posts. I love flying, don't get to do it often, but I also get very airsick so am usually Dramamined up...so I see the world through a very nice glassy eyed stare. It is pretty there though. Maybe I like drugs more than flying? I have been pulled aside and prodded, caressed, and scanned in the most thorough way and it is terribly humiliating and undignified but again, the drugs make it doable.
