It's getting worse...
Yes, I have flown before, short flights to Cork (x2), Jersey (x2) and Lerwick (x1), but not long haul stuff...9 hours and 15 minutes up there. With nothing underneath me but fresh air...
Oh, and a 'round the block' flight in a Jet Ranger heli. Oh, and I sat in the cockpit of a Super Sabre and a Hawker Hunter one day.
According to various travel insurance companies I checked out, I will need a doctor's letter approving that I'm ok to fly, a list of my medications, plus a three day supply of meds with me, plus whatever I have in my case in the hold. Plus a letter from my heart specialist describing what happened to me, what procedures they did, how successful they were, etc.
I don't exactly get nervous as such, it's the thought of what might happen when I'm up there...what happens if the plane runs out of petrol or gets a puncture, that sort of thing. And when the driver says ''we are cruising at 500mph and 35000 feet''....yea, right. I just hope he's looking where he's going and not sightseeing out of the window...
I need a large scotch...and I'm still waiting for my passport to arrive.
Gulp...

Oh...destination Vancouver, Canada.
