Ok, I'm scared. To death. Petrified is more the word.
Rick got his paperwork for the trustees/executive board meeting in Oregon in September. He'll be gone a week. I promised him I'd go with him! I promised! I hate flying. The last time I flew was to Vegas in the mid-90s and I swore then that I would never, ever again touch a plane. But I promised. And he's so looking forward to me going with him this time. We're going to rent a car and drive up into Washington. Check out the old-growth forests (I've always wanted to visit the old-growth forests). There's this really neat used book store in Portland (if I buy books, I can just have them shipped home). And Voodoo Donuts....he's so looking forward to having a Voodoo Donut. Walking. Seeing the coast (I've never seen the Pacific Ocean).
And the Pacific Northwest is one of the areas that I've always wanted to see. Rick goes to Oregon about three times a year for meetings and he's done some of this stuff. But I haven't and he really wants to share it with me. Not a co-hort. Me.
But the plane. *sigh* When I promised to go with him, that was back in March. Who knew that the time would get here so quickly? He has to make the reservations and such now. And once that's done, I'm committed to go (or I should be committed to the local mental health ward for agreeing to go).
I don't know if there's enough drugs and alcohol in the universe to get me on that plane.
