Vacation is underway! I am safely in Shanghai, watching Da Shan on CCTV9 (gosh he is annoying!) This afternoon I was freaked out when a couple of the other flight instructors in our school informed me that we might be flying through the remnants of Typhoon Morakot, but luckily our flight was relatively calm. I guess the Nerbulence Fairy was with me tonight!
With a couple of flights ahead of me, I’m working out a plan for dealing with my fear. The last time we went to Hong Kong we rode a ferry from Shenzhen to Hong Kong Island. The seas were a little rough that day and the ferry bopped up and down in the waves. I realized that I wasn’t afraid at all. Movement was normal and did not signal impending doom. I am now attempting to apply that feeling when I experience turbulence in the airplane. This all makes total sense in my head. We’ll see how it actually plays out on my 12 hour flight to Amsterdam.
The DH has business in Shanghai tomorrow, so most likely we will leave on Wednesday. I should probably buy our tickets!
