Test Flight...




Over Valentine’s Day weekend we went to California with Bendrea. The purpose of our trip was to give Matt a “test” flight since he had done some therapy to help him with his flight anxiety. (It’s called NLP and you can ask him about it if you’d like the details). Bendrea just happen to be up for a trip and we also met Scabby along the way.




It was a good time. We went to Sprinkles cupcakes(so delicious), Universal Studios and we went to some friends of Bendrea in San Diego who had the fanciest house I have even been in. I felt like I was on some TV show or something. It was amazing. How was the flight for Matt you may ask? Well, despite a rocky start to the day (our flight was delayed and we got booked onto another flight but our luggage had already been checked to our original flight so we were very skeptical about it’s arrival) Matt did really well. He was able to keep calm and he even was comfortable enough to get up and walk around. This is normally not something he’d be ok with. He said it was the best flight he has had in 20 years. Praise the Lord! He wants to do a slightly longer flight next-probably Chicago- and go from there. I’m hoping to be able to get him back to New Zealand and Australia before too long:-) Yeah!!
