apprehensive: I was getting ready to fly to Dallas for a meeting with a client when I heard there were bad storms on the flight path.  I ended up renting  a car because I hate flying so much.

I had a client meeting in Dallas, and as I was driving to the airport I heard there was going to be a lot of storms we'd be flying through. I ended up renting a car because I hate flying so much in just calm weather.

That is a lot of extra money to spen, but it is completely understandable it you are that nervous about it.  Have you ever looked into calming medications, or meditation to help your nerves?

I completely understand that.  My mother in law used to have really bad anxiety about flying, but she did hypnosis and it really helped.
