I suppose I should introduce myself, I am Matthew, and the Last time I Flew, I may have passed out. More than 10 years ago was the last time I fainted when flying. It was pretty clear to me that something was wrong, yet I didn’t feel or think that I was scared of flying, it just happened. After all that mess happened, I decided to give planes a miss for as long as possible, having holidays in my own country was good enough for me. Then everything was going to change, the missus wanted to go abroad didn’t she, and all the way to Egypt, so no trains or cars!

Right, flashbacks of jumping on the plane happy as Larry and waking up on the other side (without any recollection of flight) started to happen… When I returned from my last holiday I passed out as well, however I have no idea why, and it was a while ago now, so I got a little scared! I decided to “Man Up” as one of my friends had told me and I didn’t say anything to my wife, I just got on the plane. At the beginning everything seemed fine, I had a steady heart rate, and I wasn’t sweating at all, things just seemed to be going very well. Then the engines started, and still, I was ok, even when we were moving to the run way I felt fine!

I couldn’t figure out why I didn’t pass out this time, or why I passed out the last time, everything just seemed to be fine this time. I had finally reached that stage where I could start to be excited about my holiday. I was eager to get back on the plane and get flying again. Everything just couldn’t stay going all smooth could it! Over the Tannoy I could hear the Captain announce we were heading into some rough turbulence. And he wasn’t joking it really was rough, in fact I thought that the plane was going to fall apart, I was being shaken all over the place, and to make things worse their was lightening outside. And then all of sudden it stopped, but my heart didn’t. I never thought I would be saying this, but I kind of wish I blacked out!

Egypt holidays Didn’t actually appeal to me that much, and i never went back, next up was a decision between Maldives holidays or Sri Lanka holidays, both involve a aeroplane!
