Update on traveling to see my dad.

Last edited Sat May 23, 2020, 01:18 PM - Edit history (2)

My best friend came up with an idea that makes it easier for me to go.
I am going to fly to Albuquerque, close to where she lives. She and I
will drive to my dad's house. We will get a room and stay a week.
Having my friend involved and being there with me has calmed my panic.
I am still anxious about the flight but I am an uneasy flyer at best. The
added danger of the virus is just one more thing and I'll have to adjust to.
Thank all of you who came out and supported me with your suggestions
and good wishes. I am humbled. Thank you.

, after finishing engineering school, to a job interview several thousands miles away. It was initially nervous, but I got through it.

Carry along something that you love to read. I found the key is to be focused on something other than the flight.
