...when you are afraid of flying.
Flying sucks. Flying over Greenland sucks even more. I have no clue why, but for some reason there seems to be no way to cross that white spot on the map without getting a good shake. For those of you who, just like me, frequently freak out while being shaken and are sick of the puzzled looks of the other passengers while breathing in a paper bag, trying not to hyperventilate, I have listed a couple of things that have turned out to be very helpful in those situations.
1. Write your memoirs an hour before you fly over the border
It's totally impossible to write in a readable handwriting while the plane keeps on dropping down 10 meters. Therefore in the end (if the paper survived the crash), nobody would be able to read them.
2. Take Gravol (in large amounts)
Gravol is THE innovation of the 20th century. It is only outplayed by the invention of illuminated pocket mirrors. It is an anti-nauseant...or at least, that is what it is supposed to be. I suspect it to be nothing else than a super strong sleeping pill. Once you have swallowed them, you have 30 more minutes to go. Then you are knocked out for about three to six hours. And even if you should wake up during the turbulences, at least you won't have to use the paper bags in front of you for emptying your stomach, but for supporting your breathing activities while hyperventilating.
3. Take your Gravol with something to drink, that has a number and a % sign on its bottle
(This is supposed to be a child-safe blog. Of course the % sign indicates the pureness of the apple juice you are taking your Gravol with). Once you have swallowed that combination, you are very unlikely to wake up before the plane takes down.
Well, that's it for today. Peacin' out!

I don't know why but I seem to get all the boring flights where nothing happens at all. Or maybe it is just that I am sound asleep!?
Nevertheless, flying isn't bad at all, I mean it is still the safest mode of transportation. Due to a high number of passenger plane crashes are always very tragic but compared to car accidents the number of people involved in plane crashes is vanishingly low.
Just about a week a go I attended a speech about flight security and I assure you that there are a lot of people doing everything they can to make your trip safe.
And as you can see there are people who have been in turbulences, survived and are now writing blogs.
And what to do if the whole plane is shaking... make sure to empty your glass and plate beforehand, otherwise, you might want to change clothes!
Relax and have a smooth flight!
