About this Episode
For some, free tickets to fly to Alaska would be a great gift.
For this flatlander, with a long-term Fear-of-Flying, it has been a hurdle I have not been able to get over.
Panic attack, following by rumination and depression. The only way to break it was a 4-hour road trip to go see my daughter and her two boys. The 7-year-old was busy riding bikes -- but the one-year old was right where I needed him. Holding his arms up for a Grandpa Lift -- it was that little boy that gave me the life. Thanks Cal!!!
