RE: Flying from North Carolina to Arizona
I love the plane shots! I have always wanted to take photos out of the window but I always take the isle row because of some health issues. I think everyone probably gets a little nervous about planes. I don't think I have a fear of planes but I'll admit that turbulance makes my heart race.
Glad you made it! I think having issues with multi-plane flights is a guarantee haha. I travel by plane a lot and there's almost always some kind of problem whether a delay or what not. Looking forward to seeing what's next!
It's too bad that layovers are the affordable way to fly lol. I'm sure I will experience many more issues if I keep going on trips that require flights because buying flights without layovers are super expensive.
I hate to hear you experience health issues that impact you on flights. Turbulence can be a little nerve racking.
I know exactly what you mean with layovers! I could get a flight back home for as short as 20hours but I always end up getting 32 hour trips because the flights with several couple hour layovers are usually like 300-500$ cheaper.
The health issue rarely happens bc i take medicine (I get bladder spasms from too much movement). But every once in a while it might happen on a really long flight if I happened to fall asleep and take a pill. And if it does happen for some reason I need to be able to get up because it's super painful and uncomfortable and makes me feel like I always have to use the bathroom.
That sounds terrible. I've had spasms in my intestines and it was terrible. Wow, do they know why movement brings on bladder spasms?
i had surgeries when i was young for a bad kidney that interacted with the bladder area and made it really sensative. Only ever happens on 2+ hour rides in a car, bus, plane or any kind of transportation. So if I take a long trip I have to take medicine to sedate the bladder. I'm guessing the constant friction of a moving vehicle just agitates it a lot. It seems to have gotten better with age, I can take longer trips now without triggering it but I'm also more diligent about taking the medicine as well when i need to.
I am glad you have found ways to deal with it during longer travel. I am sure it still can be frustrating, but I hope it doesn't hinder your travels at all. I can only imagine you don't let it hold you back since you moved all the way to China and I've seen some of your posts about your travels.
