ehh im not 21 so i cant liquor up prior to getting on the plane. Nor would I anyways. Its only 5 hours so I am good.. I just hate turbulence.. I cant even ride tower of terror at disney without having a panic attack or something like that. I hate that sudden feeling of dropping and or having no control over it.

I might use some sort of sleep aid but no idea yet since I might be sitting with an interesting person to talk to that will help keep my mind of the flight. I have my laptop which has the extended life battery and I think I can get 4 hours out of it playing a DVD and straight up 7 if I am just surfing the web with no downloads.

You're going for a DeLorean show?!?!?!? :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

I just drove up to Amboy and was only three hours away from Vegas... I LOVE driving to the Volcano. It's so awesome :)

You'll be fine, flights to Vegas are smooooth. Step onto the plane knowing that you'll be fine and that it's no big deal. Hopefully the desert air will allow no turbulence, and pffft you're going to see DeLoreans! That's what you should be thinking about, not the plane ride! LOL

I saw a nice Delorean traveling on I-85 yesterday afternoon in Atlanta.
It had been a while since seeing one...

Don,

Take a big breath. There's nothing bad about flying. The experience will be incredibly painful because of these things and only these things:

1. Federal rent-a-cops / airport "in"security
2. Disgusting food
3. Waiting
4. Layovers.
5.The mad rush of people trying to get onto the plane first.
6. The obsession of passengers that NEED to be in their assigned seat. Who the F cares, just find where the dumb ass was supposed to sit and sit there.
7. Seat butt (Only applicable if the flight is over 4 hours)
8. The attendant's insistence that she doesn't give you the whole can of Coke. " I WANT THE FULL CAN WOMAN!" :cool:
9. Overbooking
10. Layovers
11. Did I mention overbooking and layovers?

Other then that flying is a breeze! It's kind of like being on a boat ;)
