When I met my now husband, I discovered he had the most extreme form of phobia about flying. It must have been catching because somehow I was convinced I was scared of flying too! So we had a week in a rural cottage in the UK somewhere, once a year and I was very grateful for that. :)
But then came my mid life crisis:-). I was in my mid 40s and had never done the holiday abroad thing. Never flown. I felt I'd missed out and wanted to at least try it for myself.
My husband was adamant he wouldn't. So.....I went alone. Amsterdam first. Then Rome.
After the second trip he realised he wanted to come with me, so he went on a fear of flying course in Manchester in November 2012. We drove up together and while he was on the day long course I met up with Wombat37 and LittleMavis which was really lovely!
Also....the course worked! So it was a very good day all round :)
Since then, we've been making up for lost time, seeking out bargains and offers and going on mini breaks whenever we can.
Every time we go, we buy one or two fridge magnets and as you can see.....there's quite a collection forming!
As you'll also see.....there's PLENTY of room for more ;-)
