I Hate Flying

First of all, I nearly always have severe ear pain when flying. One of my doctors suggested that I use a nasal spray so I do and that has helped. I also take a Tylenol Extra and use wax ear plugs that completely cover the ear canal just before the plane departs and have not noticed as much pain as I had before doing this. Then, too, it seems that Bob and I always end up in the wrong line and have to be directed to the correct one. I find that I'm always the one who is in line for expanded security checks of some kind; must have a target on my back or something. Even when I flew from Tulsa to Lubbock after having gall bladder surgery and was in a wheel chair - yep, they went thru my carry-on bag, checking my lingerie carefully! I was scanned and patted down in Tulsa last Thanksgiving. Guess grandmas are suspect. Next month we'll fly American Eagle from Roswell to DFW and then have to change terminals there to change planes and fly on to Colorado Springs. It really stresses me out to not know what tasks I have before me and to not be familiar with my surroundings in any situation. I searched for a link to the DFW airport and the terminals this morning and learned a lot about Skylink, which terminals AA uses, security, etc. There were videos of each terminal and it was almost like being there to take the tour which showed the gates, Skylink entrances, etc. I hope that with all this information we won't seem like such country bumpkins when trying to change terminals and planes. We're looking forward to Brandon's and Lisa's wedding and to seeing John, Mary, Scott, Vicky and Taylor, as well as Brandon and Lisa and meeting her family. 'Til next time, G'Ma
