Flight from HELL



Ok, I am all set mentally for this flight..I love traveling, but I hate flying..so when I do..its always a nerve racking experience...but not this time...I am mentally prepared..



we took a picture before entering the airplane..so far..not bad


Myah is all smiles...



We sit in our seat and I'm having alittle panic attack...I booked on DELTA..you know Delta Airlines ..the one that has the TV's in the headrests..well I board this plane and its a crop duster. I DONT DO CROP DUSTERS !. There's 2 seats on 1 side and 2 seat on the other..If I stand in the middle of the isle and extend my arms they friggen touch both sides of the plane...


Ok, ok, breath....If I just close my eyes I will get past this....but then I saw the flight attendants get on board...and their uniforms said COMAIR...I started to freak..I swear COMAIR is the maker of my hairdryer and that friggen thing has burned out on me like 10 times...ok, breath....but then I asked the lady next to me and she said...No Conair is the maker of the blow dryer....ok I am feeling a little better...i still hate my blow dryer...


SO we start to take off and my heart is beating....and we take off....ok, ok, ok, no birds got stuck in the engine, yet...5 minutes pass, 10 minutes....phew all is good in Rina-land....


until the announcement from HELL came on..The pilot said that they will be encountering 220 crosswinds and he is instructing his staff to stay seated for the next 700 miles...Now look here folks..I have no idea what that means but if he is telling me than it must not be good....he said there will be no beverages or snacks distributed due to turbulence...


OMG, this is not TURBULENCE..this is FALLING WITH STYLE!...I tried to ignore the seatbealt sign..but they were beeping and they're flashing. They're flashing and they're beeping! I cant stand it anymore, they're blinking and they're flashing. I went into PANIC...
Until this woman who was flying alone came to my rescue. She entertained Myah while I was yelping over every bump and air dive...

You know its a bad sign when your child is holding your hand instead of you holding hers...

I started thinking..take pictures...just in case we go down...TAKE PICTURES...



the lady then offered to take our picture...ok lady..hurry up, hurry up..I cant pretend to smile much longer...


this was the woman...she kept saying "mommy you need to relax, you no die, not today anyway"
Very comforting LADY !

Safe and sound at the MARRIOTT !....I swear I need to be medicated...

I didn't realize you were coming to Cincinnati! I'd offer to bring you dinner, but we are actually leaving this Saturday for vacation. We're well acquainted w/Cincinnati Children's though (if that's where you are & have any questions)! At least it's a little warmer here right now:)

So glad it was a peacful, enjoyable flight.
Did you have hors de vores?
Caviar?
White wine?

I'm sure the waitstaff aboard were walking the aisles to meet your every need in that luxurious, spacious top notch cabin of a plane.

Oh wait....it was Rina's flight.
Just the opposite.

Never a dull moment with you Rina dear! It has been a bit windy and rainey up north lately. Glad you arrived in one piece (at least physically!) Tracy
