Well, I'm back from Elizabeth City, NC.
One of the many places we went was a place called Roanoke Island. It was actually really interesting! Then, after that, I just HAD to go to the Chocolate Factory there. Since I'm really not doing anything now, I get these weird cravings...Anyone know what I'm talking about and if so do you get them, too?
We really had a great time and enjoyed being somewhere different. It was, for me, a much more relaxed atmosphere. There's no one that I know down there that I can get anything from and I knew that and it actually felt good, it was almost like the "pressure" was turned off and "fun time" was turned on.
The day after we got back however, I did get sick and still am sick with a sinus infection. I go to the dr tomorrow though so I think I'm make it. LOL
Best wishes to all!

We'll see, i have a few more days to decide if i want to be a big girl or not.
I was planning to go to Atlantic city in a few weeks but plans changed, for the better. Now for $200 more i can go to Vegas for 3 days, stay in the Flamingo Hotel, 3 continental breakfasts, $40 in gameing tokens and what ever else they offer as a "come on in" thing. My daughter is stoked about this one.
I have been to Vegas 3 times in the past and it's only getting better from what i hear. I have until the end of the day to make up my mind. I must be thinking ahead because last night i grabbed some new ear buds from walmart, up in the air for 5 hours with no ipod, oh no.

I had been scouting around trying to find the best travel deal. After speaking to a few agents i obviously chose the one who offered up the best one. Today another agent called me that i forgot about, i had not dealt with her, just left a message.
We got to chattin and she had some half baked fare that was way to high, which i obviously declined, nicely. I had made the slightest mention somewhere in the conversation that my daughter was not a hugh fan of flying but wanted to go and would basically "suck it up"
This agent said to me, "oh i know how she feels, with all the air incidents and plane crashes in the news lately, i would not fly, at least not right now"!!! What???? This is a Travel Agent for cryin out loud. Nothing like freakin me out for a minute.
I put her remarks on the back burner but i'm now just the slightest bit jumpy. I have flown on numerous occasions, obviously without incident other than a bit of turbulance which landed a cup of coffee in my lap.
I just felt a bit put off as that was unprofessional of her, at least that is what i think. I would think making someone apprehensive about flying would sort of squelch a perspective commission, i don't know, that's just me.
What do you think?

Hi bbfeet,
I really laughed there. That is one unprofessional agent if you ask me. I think she forget where she is working. I don't fly to often but I never experienced anything to worry about. A little turbulence and that is that. i know that people are now more afraid to fly because of all of the accidents, but these things happen, and I think that they are doing everything to keep this in possible minimum. It is not easy to be in a metal tube at 30 000ft in the air. :-)

I'm ok with it for now, but as it gets closer i'm probably gonna get jumpy.eeek.
Did you see the plane that slammed into the helicopter over the Hudson River lately?
Metal tube? O God o.O

I always tell jokes to help me with anxiety. I don't believe in telling people about how they are gonna be fine and all that stuff because it doesn't help. Just laugh. Just make jokes when you feel anxious and you'll feel a lot better. Ever tried that?

Yeas I saw that, it was horrible. As I could find out 9 people have died. I also saw some pictures of the wreckage of a helicopter.
And yes, metal tube with wings. Just kidding. :-)

You guys know I only live a few miles from that, right? It's right after Sullenberger did that incredible landing in the Hudson too. It's so sad. But you know, that is the vast majority of aviation deaths. Big planes rarely go down.

I didn't know that you live there.And it is very sad that it happened. But in the last period we had many news from all around the world about crashes of big planes.

Yeah, I'm not too far from it and I was really stunned to hear about it because those helicopter tours of Manhattan are VERY popular and I didn't expect that someone would actually have an accident. I guess it goes to show that it's always likely to happen...
