6. I haven't flown since before 2001 and that's okay with me.

I used to fly to NC regularly to see my grandmother, but she passed away in 1998. I've flown overseas a few times and that's when the trouble started. I was on a flight from JFK to Helsinki and I started having panic attacks. It turned out I was severely anemic, but I felt like I was dying. I recommend Finnair very highly, the flight attendants were just wonderful. One of them sat with me for the rest of the flight and she tried to persuade me to stay in Finland - so I wouldn't ever have to get on another plane! LOL. I've never been a fan of flying, but I wouldn't want to go through that again. My last flight was back from the West Coast. It was beautiful there, but I'm not sure even that could persuade me...
