I was a basket case the week before to my first trip abroad. It was a business trip to China, and though I had flown many, many times, never to a foreign country, never across an ocean. However, once I got settled in Business Class and discovered the non-stop service, I relaxed… and had a GREAT trip. I’ve flown abroad half a dozen times since and, most recently, I was nervous for various reasons—but never quite like that first trip.
