Trust me, Xanax works some wonders. A lot of people I know who are anxious about flying take it. I actually had to feed my ex some (hidden in his breakfast) the first time he flew and he was mostly happy during the flight taking pictures out the window He travels very often now.
Or you could drive up with people, the drive from NY is 10 hours. |
Thanks for the tip. I'm an Ativan gal myself. 
I used to fly, but stopped in 2001 before 9/11. And for the last 9 years, I have heard hundreds of horror stories about security, long waits on the runway, turbulence, and equipment problems. That has not boosted my confidence that I'll have a smooth flying experience. Eventually I'll get back on a plane, but I don't want to deal with the stress of worrying about flying.
I'm a pro with Amtrak and will go that route. I know it's expensive and looooong, but for the piece of mind, it's worth it. I know I can handle it. I once went to Mississippi from Philly and it took me almost 30 hours. I know I'm crazy, but a phobia is really powerful.
