I am a frequent air traveler and good my friend, Nick, has a fear of flying! I promised him that we would sit down at one of the bars in the airport and consume a few adult beverages to build up enough liquid courage to fly. He graciously agreed and our trip to England had begun!
After a pint and a bottle of wine, our flight was ready for boarding. We stumbled our way into our assigned seats and the plane was ready for takeoff. As soon as we were in the air my mind entered a new realm and I was feeling a little bit more lightheaded that usual. Nick was comatose! As much as I needed a companion to keep me occupied, I did not want to wake up the person who has a fear of flying. The passenger sitting next to me asked one of the flight attendants for some wine. It was at this moment that I had found myself a new companion!
We spoke for hours, shared stories and continuously filled our glasses with different wines. Wine truly made time fly; what I thought was 30 minutes was really 6 hours! I can’t say that I remember the content encompassing our discussion and my new friend’s name had quickly slipped my mind. What I can tell you is: The times I don’t remember, are the moments I will never forget!
Have you ever experienced a similar situation or heard of any memorable air traveling stories? This clip reminds me of my tale, but with a bit more extremity!
