BM says I have to ask at check in later today that they check my planes fuel status and remind them it needs to be enough to get us 2000 miles - personally I think I just might ask them for a valium  scared2:

Have you such a thing as rescue remedy? Or failing that vast quantities of alcohol. My family all hates flying and we swear by three bloody marys knocked back as quickly as possible followed by sleeping for the rest of the flight. Eye mask and headphones of soothing whale music essential. ;)

Bach's rescue remedy no - Vodka rescue remedy a MUCH better plan.
I will follow your adept and very clever advice to the letter  ;D perhaps even having 4 or 5  cloud9:

My sister fears flying so she always has a few before boarding the plane. Unfortunately she cannot handle booze very well and usually needs at least 24 hours to recover - takes 2 or more days off her holiday.
She has now been converted to holidays cruises, especially if it involves the Carribean.

So, it is fair to say, her fear of flying outweighs the fear of spending 24 days vomiting from both ends then?

Especially as the latter involves weight loss.

Very important for MOTB.

Okay - house cleaned and ironing pile cleared, well didn't think the magic fairies would pop over and do this for me whilst I am away  ::)

Now going to finish light packing, which based on the BFBS weather report indicates that I need galloshers, rowing boat and oars - hope that means I don't exceed my single case weight limit  rubschin:

Daughter has set up packed appointment schedule for new WD viewing over the next week, believe my legs can stand the pace but don't know if the BM's wig fund can  eeek:

More on this vital subject later I guess - know you are all riveted !!
