Leaving on a jet plane
In about four hours I’ll be leaving for LAX to fly to my birthplace, Miami, Florida. My grandmother on my mom’s side is ill, and she may not be around much longer, so Amanda and I are going to see her. We’ll be gone for a week, returning on next Thursday.
I really hate flying, and I have anxiety about it, but since I’m not going to get very much sleep, maybe I’ll be able to fall asleep on the plane. Not likely, but we’ll see. It’s a five hour flight altogether, with a layover in Alabama. Maybe I’ll just pop an extra Paxil. We’ll see.
While in Florida, I plan on visiting my father in Tampa as well as my paternal grandparents.
I haven’t been to Florida in about five and a half years, so it should be interesting to see things there again. I haven’t been to Miami in an even longer time. I haven’t seen my grandmother in Miami since I was eighteen! That was twelve years ago. Crazy how time flies.
Well, pray for me that I make it through without losing my mind and that the trip is safe. See you soon, I hope!
