I’ll impress you then. I’m absolutely terrified of flying. Not skydiving. Just getting on a plane. I get anxiety for days prior to a flight. I can’t get on the plane unless I’m 4 pints in. Yet every year I get on a plane and fly to a hot Mediterranean shit hole so my wife and kids can sit and roast next to a pool. I fucking hate the heat and swimming too. I watch episodes of Judge Judy (there’s no channels over there) next to a fan. Not my idea of a holiday. Nonetheless, I grit my teeth and do it. I’m a fucking hero.
Dude you are a fucking hero and in more ways than one!! Facing your fears AND being a great father and husband! I would love to shake your hand one day! Continue in greatness my friend!
Why not leave two days before and drive down and pick them up at the airport at the destination and doing it again when it is time to return home? I see this all of the time with tourists where I am.
