I have never liked flying when I was younger, but now it's a definite fear after getting stuck in some pretty bad turbulence.
In 2009 & 2010 we went out to visit H's mum in the States. Long flight and I hated it. As H and his mum have had a falling out, we won't be going over there again, and a part of me was massively relieved as I wouldn't have to deal with the flight.
For the past 10 years we've happily holidayed in the UK. Last night however, H said he wants to explore further afield, such as parts of Europe. Top of his list is trying to see the Northern Lights in Iceland. Fine, sounds fun, I'd like to try to photograph the Northern Lights myself. But Iceland is just under a three hour flight away ?.
H keeps saying "think of the photos you'd get" and how much we'd enjoy exploring a new place - there are many places we'd both like to visit, but they all involve a flight and at the moment I can't see past the getting on the plane bit.
How can I man up and do this?
