New York

NEW YORK BABY!! Well....for the second time! Mile 17 and he still managed to make me smile!  This trip was for a very different reason altogether; my amazing husband, Tom, ran the New York Marathon and I was so very proud of him (& all that that took part).  The atmosphere, organisation, people, runners, professional athletes, supporters and well wishers were all, to quote a word used a lot that day "AWSOME".  He finished with an AMAZING time of 3:02:02 A visa is required for **British Passport holders.  ESTA (Visa Waiver programme) approx.

Fear of Flying

This could be the strangest thing ever – a travel agent that hates flying.   Well not really, there are lots of people who have a fear of flying and I just so happen to be one of them.   It’s not pleasant but I can absolutely relate to those who say they have this fear also.   With the need to try and get my fear under control due being diverted because our plane hit a bird on take off.   This was the point where my fear hit new heights, I was so upset and refused to get back on the replacement plane, that the only way was to have a Valium!   I refused to ever step foot on a plane ever again.  I must say, looking back, Ryanair were fantastic and were so calm and reassuring throughout the whole experience, it was just me being a complete pain.  Little did I know that my husband Tom, had then booked me a surprise trip to New York and he wanted to guarantee that I would get onto another flight, so he booked me one session with a hypnotherapist. ...
